Innovations are significant source of competitive advantage for firms. They are also a major source of dynamics that forces firms to adapt their capabilities to sustain competitiveness. In this study we analyzed how firms manage their technological portfolio in mobile phone industry. Our first finding is that firms have focused differently their technology portfolios. Then we identified that most firms change their technology portfolio over time. And finally we conclude that firms in mobile phone industry have different levels of dynamics where some firms change their technology portfolio faster than others.
