Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of dynamic capabilities on firm performance through the mediating role of business model innovation and sustainable competitive advantage and the role of moderating environmental dynamics.Methodology: This research is a descriptive survey in data collection. The statistical population of the study is companies located in Tehran province. The sample size was determined with G-Power 3 software, 222 people, and the random method was used for sampling. Two hundred eighteen questionnaires were obtained through an online survey. The research model was also analyzed based on the structural equation modelling approach with Smart PLS 3.Findings: Dynamic capabilities positively and significantly affect firms' performance, and business model innovation mediated this relationship. Perceived environmental dynamics moderated only the relationship between dynamic capabilities and business model innovation, sustainable competitive advantage, and firm performance.Originality/Value: The role of dynamic capabilities is an essential and strategic necessity for guiding, supporting, and managing resources to create a sustainable competitive advantage and achieve superior performance. The study provides critical insight for managers to abandon traditional approaches, focus on core competencies, and strengthen their position in the market.

Purpose: The present study seeks to provide a qualitative model of the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities in cloud computing companies in Iran. For this purpose, the micro-foundations of the three areas of Sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring have been extracted based on the reference model of Teece (2007).Methodology: The research methodology is an extended case study. Due to the novelty of the research topic and the lack of a reference model, research components were collected through a review of optimal experiences and in-depth interviews with key managers of organizations. For this reason, we created a theoretical saturation by compiling a protocol of interviews and conversations with 14 senior managers of active companies in Iran's cloud computing field. Then, through qualitative content analysis, the components were extracted.Findings: In the micro-foundations of the field of Sensing, the three constructs of senior managers' intuition, the trend of consumer behaviour in countries similar to the consumer behaviour of Iran's ICT field, and the study of export opportunities differ from the results of previous research. The three construct technology knowledge transfer, best practice, and legal requirements of ISO and quality are among the categories less mentioned in earlier research. Finally, contingent strategic management, organizational strategic empathy, customer experience management, and strategic perseverance have been less studied in reconfiguring. In general, the critical role of senior managers in leading issues and creating empathy and appropriate cooperation with staff and customers as the main profile of managers has been considered to promote dynamic empowerment in organizations.Originality/Value: Due to the nature of technology and economic, political, and social governance of Iranian IT companies, it is necessary to provide a clear roadmap for this sector by identifying the micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities
