Revisiting Absorptive Capacity with a Design Perspective
We examine how teams working on radical innovation develop a novel type of Absorptive Capacity (AC) to make use of external knowledge. In the setting of the semiconductor industry, which has long been an industrial reference for the literature on innovation, we are able to compare AC in incremental innovation and AC in radical innovation. Our central contribution is a framework of how radical i...

متن کاملAbsorptive Capacity as a Basis for Construction Innovation: from a Capabilities to a Routines Perspective
Construction has been described as a sector with weak levels of Absorptive Capacity. At a time when the performance of the UK construction sector, in terms of levels of exports and future financial sustainability, is being widely discussed by policy makers, are the actual levels of Absorptive Capacity a ‘real and present’ risk to future sector performance? High levels of Absorptive Capacity hav...
متن کاملRevisiting classical design in engineering from a perspective of frugality
The conservative nature of design in engineering has typically unleashed products fabricated with generous amounts of raw materials. This is epitomized by the factor of safety whose values higher than unity suggests various uncertainties of design that are tackled through material padding. This effort proposes a new factor of safety called the factor of frugality that could be used in ecodesign...
متن کاملAn Absorptive Capacity Perspective of Open Source Software Development Projects
An organization’s absorptive capacity is important for facilitating innovation that can lead to organizational performance. I examine the effects of absorptive capacity on open source software development group performance. Specifically, in addition to the commonly noted importance of OSS developers, the role of the Internet-based user community is introduced as fundamental in developing absorp...
