Abstract
With the aim of deepening the study of the individual and organisational capabilities set necessary to survive and develop in a knowledge economy, in this study we theoretically explore and discuss the concept of ‘T-shaped’ capabilities. The paper is rooted in the recent notion of ‘T-shaped’ endowment and moves from the distinction between capabilities and competences. A T-Shaped profile includes both vertical competences (I-Shaped competences) and ‘horizontal capabilities’. After analyzing the T-shaped endowment at an individual level, we propose an innovative organisational design characterized by a nesting (“recursive”) architecture of T-shaped capabilities; then we discuss the crucial set of organisational variables necessary to effective develop an organisation by fostering and managing T-shaped capabilities.. Managerial implication and future research paths are finally discussedFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
