Abstract
Developing entrepreneurial capabilities has become a key competitiveness strategy in business across the world. Overall, organizational capabilities can provide performance improvements by taking an integrated approach to people, infrastructure and processes as means of codifying organizational learning.
The paper proposes “organizational capability” as a valuable tool for universities who seek to develop their competitiveness entrepreneurially, especially across the EU, where higher education is no longer a guarantee for employment and alternatives are sorely needed. For this purpose, we explore conceptualizations of organizational capabilities, propose an integrative model and apply it to learn more about the development of capability from practice at Aalto University in Finland.
