Absorptive capacity: towards individual or organizational themes

چکیده
Purpose: This study evaluates the relationship between Individual Absorptive Capacity, Social Integration Mechanisms and Organizational Capacity. Using an integrated cognitive learning perspective, this provides empirical evidence about conceptual absorptive capacity (ACAP) model through examining full process systematically. Two groups of moderating variables were studied—namely, social integration appropriability—to examine their impact on process.
 Design/methodology/approach: employed a longitudinal metal mechanic companies in Brasil by using 427 survey responses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data analysis was performed considering: i) Cronbach's alpha; ii) Composite Reliability; iii) Average Variance Extracted (AVE); iv) Fornell Larcker criteria; v) Evaluation Pearson Coefficients Determination (R2); vi) Effect Size (f2) or Indicator Cohen; vii) Predictive Validity (Q2); viii) Student's t-test. Following estimation structural (path coefficients) Partial Least Squares method via SmartPLS software version 3.2.8. The examined six consecutive models analyzed hierarchical linear modelling.
 Findings: confirms that mechanisms are required from organizations to create positive environment for individuals develop knowledge organizational individual levels. can have direct moderator effect dimensions ACAP. complete cycle is self-reliant, dynamic, complex; it involves acquiring, assimilating, transforming, exploiting team level vice versa. results align with micro-foundations perspective because assumes associated cognitions individuals.
 Originality/value: vital support theory as well organization-learning concept. also reveals play key role facilitating both transfer process. findings provide functional suggestions highlight areas future research.

R&D/Returns Causality: Absorptive Capacity or Organizational IQ
Absorptive capacity is the principle that assimilating new knowledge requires prior knowledge. The attendant prescription is to invest more in R&D to derive greater benefit from the R&D of others (spillovers). Empirical tests of R&D productivity typically find absorptive capacity (R&D*rival R&D) to be significant. This result poses a puzzle however: What can a firm conducting 50% of industry R&...
متن کاملOrganizational Learning and Absorptive Capacity in Managing ERP Implementation Projects
In this paper we focus on large-scale IS implementation using the lens of absorptive capacity. Our case study concentrates on the double loop learning process that occurs over the implementation phase of ERP which we depict as a series of learning cycles. From this perspective, ERP implementation is best viewed not as a one-time process but rather as a series of implementation and practical use...
متن کاملEffects of Absorptive Capacity on Organizational Predisposition Toward Information Systems
This paper draws on the theory of absorptive capacity and related work to identify its dimensions and examine its impact on organizational propensity to adopt novel, complex interorganizational technologies. Specifically, it seeks to examine the causal pathway through which absorptive capacity affects organizational adoption intention. Survey-based research was carried out to test this theory. ...
متن کاملOrganizational Structure and Absorptive Capacity in Offshore Outsourcing
The offshore outsourcing (offshoring) posits a high level of risk because of time zone difference, cultural difference and client’s need for more controls over quality and schedule, etc. Knowledge gap between clients and vendors is one of the key challenges for outsourcing success. Offshoring vendors need to continuously acquire external knowledge from clients, assimilate and internalize the ne...
