Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the use of dynamic capabilities for strategy
implementation in the construction industry. Furthermore, the study examined the
relationship between dynamic capability constructs and strategy implementation
processes. The research adopted a descriptive correlation quantitative design. An online
questionnaire was used to collect data from a randomly selected sample of 129
construction companies that are registered with the municipality of Swakopmund. Data
was analysed using Microsoft excel 2020 and Statistical Packaging for the Social Sciences
software (SPSS) version 28. Findings from the study suggest that transformation is the
most used dynamic capability, followed by seizing then sensing. Furthermore, it was
found that there is a positive linear correlation between dynamic capabilities and strategy
implementation processes. Moreover, the study established a strategy implementation
concept that suggests that 24% effort should be invested in sensing, 39% in seizing and
37% in transformation to implement strategy through using dynamic capabilities in the
construction industry of Swakopmund. The study recommended that construction
companies in Swakopmund should use dynamic capabilities as an enabler for strategy
implementation however, taking cognisance of the effort required for every aspect of
dynamic capability
