Year: 2025

Type: review

Abstract: As industries transition towards sustainability to meet climate change targets, they face the challenge of moving beyond the fossil economy. This article explores the role of dynamic capabilities in fostering eco-innovations, which are critical for firms aiming to navigate and thrive in the post-fossil era. Through the orchestration of internal and external resources, firms can create long-term competitive advantages that align with eco-innovation objectives. Using a resource-based perspective, it analyzes how firms integrate natural resources into their dynamic capabilities framework, ensuring that these resources are both preserved and utilized effectively. Eco-innovations are positioned as essential drivers for sustainable transformation, demanding a reconfiguration of corporate strategies, resource management and collaborative networks.
