Abstract

This article aims to identify how dynamic capabilities can support organizations in the digital transformation process. This is a systematic literature review, from the Scopus and WOS databases, published in the last 10 years using as keywords the concepts "digital transformation" and "dynamic capabilities". The research sought to identify case studies with empirical evidence on the researched theme. The research shows as a result that dynamic capabilities can support organizations in the digital transformation process, to the extent that they incorporate a fundamental characteristic, which is organizational transformation, i.e., the flexibility to adapt to different ecosystems and business models, through innovation and collaboration with other institutions.
