Titel: \; A System Dynamics-based Theory on Self-Sustaining Communities of Practice

\n

The need for org anizations to build and develop certain capabilities has been studied exte nsively in Management Science. The delayed effect\, when short-term operat ional needs leave too few resources for necessary long-term capability-bui lding efforts\, has been called the 'Capability Trap'. This research aims to generate insights that organizations can leverage to design effective l ong-term capability-building efforts.  \;Organizations in general need individual combinations of several capabilities. These individual combina tions are complicated and extensive to study. It will be shown that the se t of Communities of Practice forms a certain kind of organization with pro perties that reduce complexity when examining acquisition\, preservation\, and adaptation of organizational capabilities. A general System Dynamics- based Grounded Theory is developed\, allowing to anticipate the behavior o f a given Community of Practice based on its properties and circumstances.
