• A framework for applying organizational routines in empirical research: linking antecedents, characteristics and performance outcomes of recurrent interaction patterns (2005, background): “standard practice to use the term ‘routines’ for collective (multi-person), and the term ‘habits’ for individual (single-person) behavior patterns ( Dosi et al., 2000 ).”
• Dynamic Capabilities, Government Policies, and Performance in Firms from Emerging Economies: Evidence from India and Pakistan (2009, unknown): “Recently researchers have started to delineate the importance of looking beyond the firm level to understand origins of firm capabilities (Dosi et al., 2000).”
• Applying Organizational Routines in understanding organizational change (2005, background): “Research on routines as repository of organizational capabilities (Dosi et al., 2000; Winter 2000, 2003; Zollo and Winter, 2002) has emphasized that routines do not just preserve the past.”
• Cognition and Capabilities: A Multi-Level Perspective (2013, background): “Routines are important because they form “the building blocks of capabilities” (Dosi et al., 2001, p. 4; see also Nelson & Winter, 1982; Teece et al., 1997; Winter, 2000).”
• Assessing the dynamic capabilities view: spare change, everyone? (2009, background): “At the same time, citing Dosi et al. (2000), Helfat et al. (2007: 5) assert that routine behavior is not purposeful.”
• Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “In the organization literature, the concept of capabilities (Dosi, Nelson, & Winter, 2000) has been widely dif-fused.”
• The Persistence of Flexible Organizational Routines: The Role of Agency and Organizational Context (2005, background): “However, to the extent that slippages are taken as exceptions rather than inherent to the performance of routines, the focus remains on the repeated action sequences, or “ ‘chunks’ of organized activity with a repetitive character” (Dosi et al. 2000), not on the situated actions that are actually pe”
• Innovation Capability: From Technology Development to Transaction Capability (2012, background): “…repertoire of routines (Nelson and Winter, 1982), core competences (Prahalad and Hamel, 1990), absorptive capacity (Cohen and Levintal, 1990), organizational capabilities (Chandler, 1992; Dosi et al., 2000), technological capabilities (Lall, 1992), and marketing capability (Kotabe, et al., 2002).”
• Selection Capability: How Capability Gaps and Internal Social Frictions Affect Internal and External Strategic Renewal (2009, unknown): “We assume that managers make at least partially deliberate efforts to close capability gaps (Dosi et al. 2000).”
• Navigators through the storm: A review of organization theories and the behavior of incumbent firms during transitions (2017, background): “As such, routines are building blocks of organizational capabilities (Dosi et al., 2000) and are therefore an important determinant of firm performance (Henderson and Cockburn, 1994).”
• Rural innovation systems and networks: findings from a study of Ethiopian smallholders (2011, background): “…International Food Policy Research Institute Kristin E. Davis, International Food Policy Research Institute Martha Negash, International Food Policy Research Institute and Gezahegn Ayele, Ethiopian Development Research Institute International Service for National Agricultural Research Division”
• The firm as an interactor: firms as vehicles for habits and routines (2004, background): “Hitherto the pioneers of modern evolutionary economics have been content to treat the application of Darwinian principles as one of carefully choosing appropriate metaphors or analogies (Hodgson, 1993; Dosi et al., 2000).”
