Abstract

Abstract This paper is one of the first attempts at empirically identifying organizational capabilities—in this work concerning Italian firms. Together, it proposes new evidence on the link between capabilities and economic performances. To this aim, we employ the Indagine Multiscopo del Censimento Permanente delle Imprese (IMCPI), a survey carried out by the Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT) in 2019, covering the three-year period 2016–2018, addressing a wide range of organizational characteristics including various organizational routines, human resource management (HRM), internationalization strategies, and many others. Our contribution is threefold: first, we aim at detecting what practices and combinations of them result in underlying different capabilities; second, we propose a taxonomy of the production system, both at firm- and sector-level based on the mapping of such capabilities; and third, we study the performance outcomes of different capability taxa in terms of productivity growth.
