“…Similarly, when entrepreneurial-oriented firms experience supply chain disruptions, it tends to innovate through focusing on new and original ideas that drive the introduction of new products or processes or improving present products and processes (Al-Hakimi et al, 2020). A high level of AC helps those firms to assess the new ideas down to successful innovations, wherein a firm's innovation based on relevant prior knowledge is more successful than if there was no prior knowledge (Asogwa et al, 2020;Engelen et al, 2014). As such, firms that own a wide information base spend fewer costs in order to innovate (Sorescu et al, 2003).…”

Supply chain resilience (SCR) is often seen as a dynamic capability that enables firms to effectively cope with disruptions and unforeseen events in the business environment. However, empirical research focusing on influencing factors on SCR is still limited. Based on the resource-based view (RBV) and the dynamic capabilities theory (DCT), we examine if absorptive capacity (AC) does in fact moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and SCR. Drawing upon a sample of 171 Yemeni manufacturing SMEs, we tested the relationships in the proposed model. The findings of the data analysis using SmartPLS show that EO positively affects SCR, further, AC positively moderates the relationship between EO and SCR. With this outcome, it is expected that SME managers in Yemen demonstrate significant interest in developing the AC of their firms. This has implications that with the development of AC, it is expected that SMEs will be able to utilize the full potential of EO to improve SCR.

“…Based on the Teece et al (1997) view, dynamic capabilities theory involves a framework of three components in relation to business innovation goals. They include ability to sense, to identify and to assess new opportunities (Asogwa et al , 2020).…”

“…Recent studies on absorptive capacity effect indicate that the phenomenon could significantly enhance business economic performance (Asogwa et al , 2020; Jimenez-Barrionuevo et al , 2019; Lis and Sudolska, 2020). This finding is consistent with the original evidence that through absorptive capacity firms could commercialize innovation ideas to boost their economic and commercial ends (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990; Zahra and George, 2002).…”

“…Thus, how absorptive capacity influences poultry farms' innovations and, in turn, their economic and commercial value is an outstanding research question. Focus on absorptive capacity–performance nexus has been on manufacturing firms and high-tech companies (Asogwa et al , 2020; Jimenez-Barrionuevo et al , 2019; Lis and Sudolska, 2020). Research from the context of absorptive capacity has not explored the role of knowledge borrowing and exploitations in leveraging poultry farming in Nigeria.…”

“…Ignoring agro-based sector could yield huge negative economic and commercial performance implications for the economy in general. These could occur because the ability to identify emerging external biological asset information could be timely exploited to gain innovative and competitive edge that could enhance poultry farms' egg and meat productivity and financial performance (Zahra and George, 2002; Cohen and Levinthal, 1990; Asogwa et al , 2020). Firms' biological asset absorptive ability could also encourage innovation that could be translated into commercialization of biological products.…”

PurposeCorporate organizations could enhance their economic and commercial values through knowledge acquisitions and exploitations. The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic and commercial performance effect of poultry management absorptive capacity in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling was used in the analysis of a random sample of 300 poultry managers and owners surveyed within the South-Eastern Nigeria. The scales that quantified the latent variables of the factors were tested for reliability and consistency using confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsThe study found evidence that the difference between economically and commercially viable poultry businesses and failing ones depends on the level of absorptive capacity. Absorptive capacity advanced innovations that resulted in higher economic and commercial performance of poultry farm. Poultry firms' profitability, sales growth and market shares were positively increased by absorptive capacity dimensions of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was carried out within a region in Nigeria and thus could be limited by generalization to the developed country.Originality/valueThis study is the first to link four dimensions of absorptive capacity to the economic and commercial performance of poultry businesses in Nigeria. As such, it originally breaks new frontier of poultry farming from dynamic capabilities and absorptive capacity perspectives.

Over the years, the literature on management has advanced in the understanding of the relationship between technology transfer, absorptive capacity and organisational performance. Nevertheless, to date, the number of studies investigating these relationships in a joint manner, showing how the result varies in different contexts, is still rare. This systematic literature review analyses the existing academic literature on the relationship between technology transfer, absorptive capacity and organisational performance by carrying out a bibliometric and qualitative analysis of the literature. The bibliometric analysis provided an overview of the literature, identifying the most prominent and influent journals, countries, institutions, authors and research methods, as well as intersections between the constructs and the temporal evolution of the publications. The qualitative analysis was employed in order to understand, systematise and assess the previous findings on the subjects. The results showed that absorptive capacity is an important factor for effective technology transfer, when taking into account international technology transfer, university-industry collaboration and inter-organisational transfer. The literature converges in indicating that both technology transfer and absorptive capacity have a positive impact on organisational performance, although some existing exceptions need to be considered. Finally, the study provides an agenda for future research based on contextual, methodological and theoretical gaps identified.
