Abstract

Digitalization, shorter product cycles, oversupply of markets and the increasing customer requirements both determine and affect the movement from an industrial to an information society. As a result companies are faced with new challenges to keep their market position, transparency and efficiency. Enterprises overcome these challenges by implementing strategies. In order to implement strategies successfully and achieve desired goals enterprises should have certain capabilities. Thus, the demand for a methodical capability management approach is growing. This chapter introduces a process for identifying, structuring, and maintaining enterprise capabilities. The guide is based on an integrated capability approach that results from a number of scientific investigations and practical experiences performed over years. Comprised of four building blocks, the capability management guide represents a flexible “engineering” approach for capability catalog developers, designers and evaluators.
