Service Design-Driven Formation of Dynamic Capabilities for International Service Innovation: A Case Study of a Chinese NEV Firm School of Design, Hunan University, China Amidst the acceleration of internationalization, service innovation has emerged as a critical pathway for New Energy Vehicle (NEV) firms to attain sustainable growth. Adopting a dynamic capability view (DCV), this paper investigates how service design contributes to the development of service innovation dynamic capabilities (SIDCs) within firms undergoing internationalization. Drawing upon a case study of the BYD New Energy Vehicle firm, the findings indicate that the functional, systemic, and iterative characteristics of service design facilitate the construction of micro-foundations for SIDCs. This is achieved through the integration of user insights, the fostering of cross departmental collaboration, and the reconfiguration of the service system. Consequently, this reinforcement enhances the skills, processes, and organizational architecture that underpin the firm's SIDCs. This study theoretically bridges dynamic capability theory and design research. Practically, it offers implications for firms seeking to leverage service design as a driver for service innovation.
