This study aims to develop understanding of how dynamic capabilities contribute a firm’s efficiency of resource leverage. Through a case study on X company in the contract research organization (CRO) industry, the research explores how X company develops and disposals its resource base on a longitudinal basis, and how it interacts with the changes in the CRO industry. We collect data primarily through deepening interviews on four senior managers at the executive level, and one of them is the creator, of X company. For the analysis, this study develops the data analysis mode that follows the logic of the sense-seize-transformation framework in the dynamic capabilities literature in order to ensure the consistency of the analyses in each of the time frames of X company’s development. From our investigation, we develop 5 propositions that potentially fulfill some theoretical gaps in the dynamic capabilities view. These propositions are (1) the awareness of industrial trends of top managers or the top-managing team help firm develop the sensing capability for market opportunities; (2) industrial relationship is a critical factor that advances a firm’s dynamic capabilities in sensing and seizing market opportunities; (3) a firm’s performance of dynamic capabilities reflect how well it leverages the resource base toward performance; (4) an multinational firm’s performance of dynamic capabilities can be advanced through leveraging the relatively low-cost resource base available from the parent company or the low-cost production base on a relatively high profit market; (5) ways in which a firm develops its strategy would guide the development of its resource base, which in turns influence how it performs dynamic capabilities.
