"A System Dynamics-based Theory on Self-Sustaining Communities of Practice"

The need for organizations to build and develop certain capabilities has been studied extensively in Management Science. The delayed effect, when short-term operational needs leave too few resources for necessary long-term capability-building efforts, has been called the 'Capability Trap'. This research aims to generate insights that organizations can leverage to design effective long-term capability-building efforts. Organizations in general need individual combinations of several capabilities. These individual combinations are complicated and extensive to study. It will be shown that the set of Communities of Practice forms a certain kind of organization with properties that reduce complexity when examining acquisition, preservation, and adaptation of organizational capabilities. A general System Dynamics-based Grounded Theory is developed, allowing to anticipate the behavior of a given Community of Practice based on its properties and circumstances.
