Resumo: | Objective: Although there prevails a growing interest in the studies on middle management (MG) within the scope of strategy and organizations, considerable research that explores the perspective of dynamic capabilities (DC) under the lens of the agents’ micropractices remains scarce. Thus, this study identifies and describes the ways in which the micropractices conducted by MG professionals from four companies embedded in the competitive environments are related to the DC dimensions.Methodology: A qualitative research strategy was employed, and the multiple case study method, with the appropriation of semistructured interviews conducted with MG professionals, was used.Originality: This study innovatively emphasizes the importance and influence of MG in the development of three DC dimensions (sense, seizing, and reconfiguration) by highlighting the functions of MG through micropractices, thereby empirically associating it with the DC dimensions.Results: The study results demonstrate that MG acts in the formation, development, and modification of the three DC dimensions in a balanced way. The results also reveal that from the five managerial functions emphasized in this study, MG seems to play a greater role in the micropractices of synthesizing information.Theoretical contributions: This study contributes to the advancement of literature in the area of strategy and DC, particularly by drawing attention to the critical role played by MG in the DC development, an aspect predominantly investigated in the literature from the senior management perspective. |

El método utilizado fue el estudio de casos múltiples, con la apropiación de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con profesionales de nivel medio.Originalidad: Este documento enfatiza de manera innovadora la importancia y la influencia de la gerencia media en el desarrollo de las tres dimensiones de capacidades dinámicas. Esto se hace enfatizando las funciones de MG a través de microprácticas, relacionándolas empíricamente con las dimensiones DC.Resultados: Los resultados demuestran que la gerencia media actúa de manera equilibrada en la formación, el desarrollo y la modificación de las tres dimensiones de capacidades dinámicas. Una segunda conclusión es que de las cinco funciones gerenciales enfatizadas en el estudio, la gerencia media parece jugar un papel más importante en la micropráctica de sintetizar información.Contribuciones teóricas: Los resultados contribuyen al avance de la literatura en el área de la estrategia y las capacidades dinámicas, particularmente al llamar la atención sobre el papel crítico desempeñado por la gerencia media en el desarrollo de los DC, un aspecto predominantemente investigado en la literatura desde la perspectiva de la alta gerencia.Objetivo: Embora haja crescente interesse de estudos sobre a Média Gerência (MG) no âmbito da estratégia e das organizações, permanecem pouco exploradas pesquisas que analisam a perspectiva das Capacidades Dinâmicas (CD) sob a lente das micropráticas desses agentes. Neste sentido, o objetivo do estudo é identificar e descrever como as micropráticas desempenhadas por profissionais da média gerência de quatro empresas imersas em ambientes competitivos relacionam-se com as dimensões das capacidades dinâmicas.Metodologia: A estratégia de pesquisa empregada foi qualitativa. O método utilizado foi o estudo de casos múltiplos, com apropriação de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com profissionais da média gerência.Originalidade: Ao projetar luzes para as funções da MG através das micropráticas, relacionando-as empiricamente às dimensões das CDs, este artigo enfatiza de maneira inovadora a importância e influência da MG no desenvolvimento das três dimensões das capacidades dinâmicas.Resultados: Os resultados apontam que a média gerência atua de maneira equilibrada na formação, no desenvolvimento e na modificação das três dimensões das capacidades dinâmicas. Uma segunda conclusão é a de que, das cinco funções gerenciais enfatizadas no estudo, a MG parece desempenhar com maior destaque a microprática de sintetizar informações.Contribuições Teóricas: Os resultados contribuem para o avanço da literatura na área de estratégia e de capacidades dinâmicas, particularmente ao chamar atenção para o papel crítico desempenhado pela média gerência ao desenvolvimento das CDs, aspecto predominantemente investigado na literatura sob a perspectiva da alta administração.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVECruz, Marina de AlmeirdaCorrêa, Victor SilvaDiniz, Daniela MartinsVaz, Samir Loft2020-08-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/1516710.5585/riae.v19i2.15167Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 19, No 2 (2020): Apr./June; 66-86Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 19, No 2 (2020): Apr./June; 66-862176-0756reponame:Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAEinstname:Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)instacron:RIEOEIporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/15167/8393https://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/downloadSuppFile/15167/13558https://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/downloadSuppFile/15167/13559https://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/downloadSuppFile/15167/13561Copyright (c) 2020 Iberoamerican Journal of Strategic Managementhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-08-20T07:53:57Zoai:https://periodicos.uninove.br:article/15167Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riaePRIhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/oai||bennycosta@yahoo.com.br2176-07562176-0756opendoar:2020-08-20T07:53:57Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAE - Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)false |
