This article includes the following themes: (a) knowledge management and dynamic capabilities are intertwined; (b) through knowledge management, effective organizational process alignment can enhance dynamic capabilities; and (c) knowledge management and social capital influence each other and, further, both strengthen dynamic capabilities.
