Abstract
Knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development are highly recognized themes in the business, economics, and management literature. Despite the existence of this vast literature, few papers analyze this subject under the perspective of dynamic capabilities. This chapter aims to present an overview about this topic, and it provides an opportunity to advance our understanding about knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development in the organization context based on a perspective of dynamic capabilities. Furthermore, we address the main critical aspects approached in the different chapters and their impact on these themes. A short description of the author’s contributions is provided.
