The aim is to expose how organisations can achieve global dynamic capabilities through the use of transnational practices. The paper is based on practice and dynamic capabilities theorising, while the context is International Professional Service Firms (IPSFs) where several practice based studies have been conducted. The main findings of the paper show that transnational practices are in use to perform necessary service work.
