Abstract
There has been an increasing call from academics specialising in operations management to integrate different strategic management perspectives into operations strategy research. Recently some pieces of operations strategy research have used the resource‐based view. It is often suggested that the incorporation of resource‐based view ideas into the field of operations strategy is a search for a new paradigm, yet the ever‐increasing literature suffers from a lack of empirical research. Moreover, operations strategy research from the evolutionary perspective, using longitudinal field data, is almost completely neglected. This paper attempts to make two contributions. The first is to stimulate debate about the incorporation of resource‐based view and dynamic capabilities within operations strategy research. The second is to present a model based on in‐depth field research where the dynamics of the capability accumulation process is explored.
