In the readings for this week you will find widely varying debates about the nature of technology and technological change, as well as the ways in which technology interacts with organizational processes. Teece, Pisano, and Shuen (1997) define dynamic capabilities as: “the firm`s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments” (p. 516).



To prepare for this assignment, review the required readings for this week. Also review Barney (1995) from Module 4. Then, in a 3 page paper:
