Abstract
The context for this dissertation is Ireland's public sector and the development of a whole of government public procurement shared service business model. It presents three papers, each of which investigate a different set of research questions on dynamic capability antecedent factors at different levels of the public sector. The core argument of Paper One, at a government/ public sector organisational level, is that public sector bodies require dynamic capabilities to overcome their elevated levels of inertia. However, this can only happen when sufficient pressure is created by high environmental dynamism and negative munificence. While Paper Two, at the business model/inter-organisational level, applies a dynamic capability lens to study the development of a centre led procurement shared service network business model. This paper presents a framework which identifies critical enabling factors each of which is mapped to dynamic capability procedural dimensions, demonstrating the importance of context. Finally Paper Three focuses on how dynamic managerial capabilities shape an organisation ability to change its resource base. It explores the coevolution of dynamic managerial capabilities and dominant logic to demonstrate how the alignment of managerial logics can have a major influence on successful implementation of procurement model change.
