Knowledge based orchestration: Response to the dynamic environmental COVID-19 pandemic

Orchestration is a form of organizational response to the challenges of erratic environmental change, through organizational knowledge-based and collective efforts. Collaborative efforts of organizations to achieve better performance through ordinary capability and dynamic capability. Orchestration is performed through a combination of operating capabilities and dynamic capabilities, which are known as dynamic bundles. Studies to find new gaps are needed to expand dynamic bundles. Resources are an important factor, so orchestration is important regarding capabilities and resources. The combination of knowledge with capabilities is a source of organizational success. Knowledge-based resources, which are specialized knowledge, increase environmental awareness capabilities and are an important factor for performance. This paper aims to explore the role of bundles or resource configurations and capabilities and their contribution to performance outcomes. This paper proposes a dynamic bundles orchestration that includes operational capabilities and dynamic capabilities as well as resources. In this research, the proposed resources are knowledge resources. Knowledge-based approach is important as a determinant of performance. This paper also contributes to conceptual knowledge in orchestration, or it can be called knowledge-based orchestration. Knowledge-based orchestration is expected to encourage organizations that have an impact on accelerating the recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic conditions. © IEOM Society International.
