Missawa (2011) have highlighted that companies anticipate Petrobras’ requirements by proposing new software‚ new methodologies in order to be better positioned in a bid. In that sense‚ taking into account dynamic capabilities approaches by Teece and Pisano (1994)‚ Eisenhardt and Martin (2000)‚ and Zollo and Winter (2002) discussed in the beginning of the theoretical framework (item 2)‚ we can say that cases of engineering services providers for Petrobras are adequate to discuss the formation of dynamic

I will start with how he got his idea and how it worked. Isaac Newton discovered the basic idea of gravity and proved how it worked when he saw
