Some elements of the dynamic capabilities approach appear in several publications (Schumpeter, 1942; Penrose, 1959, Nelson and Winter, 1982 Prahalad, Hamel, 1990), but since Teece, Pisano and Schuen (1997) this theme has been attracting increasing interest from scholars. The relevance of this issue has led researchers to consider dynamic capabilities as a robust new paradigm in the field of strategy, especially by proposing answers to the shortcomings of the RBV. The theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities has changed over time (Barreto, 2010) and has, in addition to convergence, branches among its supporters, especially regarding the theoretical foundations and sources used in their different conceptions. The concept of dynamic capabilities as a source of competitive advantage has made studies on this topic proliferate over the last few years, however this proliferation has not occurs homogeneously nor in a consensual manner which makes the deepening of the theme even more challenging. Thus, considering the major publications on dynamic capabilities between the years 1992 and 2012, this research presents contributions from leading authors interested to develop the dynamic capabilities approach and discusses its conceptual evolution. It is a bibliometric study with data processing using multidimensional scaling and network analysis. Qualitatively, the evolution of the approach is analyzed considering the different concepts and theoretical-empirical claims made by authors based of their notoriety. The results indicate (1) evolution in terms of conceptual, theoretical and empirical propositions; (2) an increase of citations of authors whom contributing to develop the theme; (3) diverse sources of publication with multidisciplinary approaches; and (4) multiple themes related to dynamic capabilities. Topics such as knowledge, skills, learning, value creation, manager´s capacity, strategic partnerships and alliances are associated with dynamic capabilities, which broaden the debates surrounding complex, absent or obscure points of the predecessor theories, reinforcing its main points as a way to expand the possibility of empirical evidence supplanting somehow, limitations of previous theories.
