“…The strong positive relationship between the two distinct yet complementary dimensions of ACAP (Zahra & George, 2002) has been consistently confirmed (Cepeda-Carrion et al, 2012;Chang et al, 2013;Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014). Firm innovativeness typically involves constant influx of new ideas, knowledge, and practices (Capaldo, 2007;Gölgeci & Ponomarov, 2015).…”

“…PACAP denotes a capacity to evaluate and acquire external knowledge (Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014). The evaluation and acquisition of external knowledge are contingent upon a pivotal step of recognition of value (Todorova & Durisin, 2007).…”

“…RACAP also consists of two capabilities of transformation, an ability to develop and refine the routines that enable combining existing and new knowledge (Zahra & George, 2002) and exploitation, an ability to refine, extend, and leverage existing competencies or to create new ones by incorporating acquired and transformed knowledge (Cohen & Levinthal, 1990;Zahra & George, 2002). PACAP and RACAP are might draw on different structures, objectives, and strategies (Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014). We analyze these two concepts separately.…”

“…Ability to acquire and exploit external knowledge effectively is pivotal for developing, deploying, and utilizing various innovative capabilities (Cohen & Levinthal, 1990). PACAP and RACAP function as enablers of ability to turning knowledge into new products, services, or processes (Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014).…”

“…Likewise, RACAP can enable processing and digestion of external knowledge and turn it into direct inputs for product, service, process, and management innovations. Though these capabilities are complementary, acquisition and assimilation of external knowledge do not guarantee its effective leverage for innovativeness, and firms can be high-caliber in transformation and exploitation while being mediocre in acquisition and assimilation (Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014).…”

Cultural intelligence underpins the interaction between firms and their cultural environments as the domain of external sources that are explored and utilized for innovation through absorptive capacity. This research seeks to answer the question of if and how cultural intelligence moderates the links between innovativeness and potential and realized absorptive capacity. We test our hypotheses based on data from 215 firms operating in Poland. We demonstrate that cultural intelligence strengthens the linkage between potential absorptive capacity and innovativeness that highlights cultural intelligence as an important enabler of exploring new and diverse external knowledge sources. We discuss cultural intelligence concept in relation to strategic management and reveal its contingent role in innovativeness.

Antecedents of absorptive capacity in the development of circular economy business models of small and medium enterprises

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Most firms, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), find it difficult to integrate circular economy strategies within their business models. Moreover, there is a lack of research on approaches for the successful implementation of circular economies in SMEs in the field of manufacturing. To fill this gap, we investigate the antecedents of absorptive capacity in successful circular economy business cases using a qualitative multiple-case study. Focusing on the horticultural sector, we interviewed six Italian SMEs using NVivo 12 for the analysis. The data were then classified into first-order and second-order categories and then sorted into absorptive capacity dimensions. Our results highlight the significant contribution provided by absorptive capacities to the circular economy in SMEs. We highlighted three antecedents for each absorptive capacity dimension and explored their key concepts. Our study contributes to the academic literature on the links between absorptive capacity and corporate sustainability by providing insights into the role of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation capabilities in the successful implementation of circular economy practices.

Family firm performance: The influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity

This article investigates the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity on family firm performance. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) was used to analyze empirical data for 218 Spanish family firms. Absorptive capacity positively mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and family firm performance. This total mediation effect suppressed the direct effect of entrepreneurial orientation on family firm performance. A major implication of this finding is that for family firms to improve their performance through entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity must act as a mediator.
