I doubt whether there is a direct relationship. Likely only an indirect relationship. Knowledge management should lead to learning that sets the platform for discussions and action in terms of dynamic capabilities, just as knowledge management and learning would inform RBV as strategy orientation.

Abstract
Modern strategic management theories try to explain why firms differ, because new sources of competitive advantage are keenly sought in the dynamic and complex environment of global competition. Two areas in particular have attracted the attention of researchers: the role of dynamic capabilities, and the firm's abilities for knowledge management. In this paper, we argue that there is a link between these two concepts, which has not been fully articulated in the literature. The aim of the paper is therefore to ascertain the conceptual connection between them as a basis for future research. Our proposed framework acknowledges and critiques the distinct roots of each field, identifies boundaries, and proposes relationships between the constructs and firm performance.
Perhaps consider the concepts of Absorptive Capacity and Adaptive Capacity in innovation literature. These may provide the bridge you are looking for. Absorptive Capacity relates to organisational systems and capabilities to absorb new knowledge while Adaptive Capacity broadly describes systems and human capabilities for converting that knowledge into useable forms within the context of the organisation. This may hold relevance for your link in terms of the potential to use a Resource Based View (RBV - Edith Penrose as the classic source) to talk about the organisational features that contribute to adaptive capacity and absorptive capacity. You will need to also link to the concept of dynamic capability -(classic author David Teece) - which could links quite nicely with the RBV (e.g. RBV possibly a driver of dynamic firm capability). For the human perspective you could consider Innovative Behaviour literature, where stimulating IB may be seen as a component of RBV that builds dynamic capability.
For classic views (always best to go to the roots before delving into others interpretations) re RBV and Dynamic Capabilities see (for example):
Teece, D., & Pisano, G. (1994). The dynamic capabilities of firms: an introduction. Industrial and corporate change, 3(3), 537-556.
Penrose, E. T. (1959). The Theory of the Growth of the Firm. New York: John Wiley.
An excellent text that refers to these concepts in the organisational innovation context is found in: Tidd, J., & Bessant, J. (2013). Managing innovation: integrating technological, market and organizational change (Fifth ed.). New York: John Wiley & Sons.
I don't think there is a direct relationship - however, you may imply an indirect relationship between dynamic capabilities (giving rise to 'organizational agility') and their strategic significance (in things like innovation) and then correlate these findings with the importance of organization information for outcomes for knowledge-intensive processes.
Think data -> information -> knowledge -> organization -> leading to managed knowledge having direct implications over a company's ability to produce value/innovate.
Hope this helps.

In an ideal situation, applying KM practices should result in enhanced dynamic capabilities. So, theoretically, there is a posive relationship between the two. Meliha
Dynamic capabilities are the antecedents of a good knowledge management: you can't have knowledge management if you don't have knowledge-based and dynamic capabilities.
I suggest a new construct for the concept of absorptive capacity where I link together KM, DC, learning, creative capacity, social integration and firm's decision makers. I suggest that acap is composed of learning, dynamic and creative capabilities. KM should manage them from R&D to innovation introduction in the market. If it is useful for you, here is a link to access a PPT of what I suggest.

Presentation La capacité d'absorption des connaissances Knowledge absorpt...
There is a plenty of research on this topic. Please look at Sher & Lee (2004) in the Information & Management journal. Also, a seminal paper Zollo & Winter (2002) does an in-depth discussion on the role of knowledge related practices and dynamic capabilities.
