The impact of managers selection criteria on quality of capabilities: Are managers only for representative function?

Dynamic capabilities represent every change-oriented routine action in company. Dynamic capabilities are widely used due to their aim to cope with dynamical changes, which happen often/regularly. Managers and employees are behind of most companies´ actions. While earlier research has emphasized more capabilities selection than their development techniques, then it makes managerial decisions especially important. This research investigates empirically how manager selection criteria influence goodness of capabilities. Managerial criteria influence more on top-management related issues and less middle-management issues. Interestingly, prior education and experience are not as much important than fit with organization, however, latter is hard to evaluate ex-ante - at selection. Formal academic degree/certification of managers is more evaluated than the real educational background. Companies do not evaluate highly the selection criteria such as creativity and entrepreneurship. Also, it is like that human resource management is not closely tied with dynamic capabilities.
