“…The capacity of the subsidiary to absorb, assimilate and transfer knowledge is progressed as a premier territory of examination and as a valid dynamic capability. The absorptive capacity identified the capability for company to develop new product development and supporting the relationship to external environment such as customers, suppliers, and even competitors (14). The absorptive capacity also creates the company to become more familiar with new technology and scientific innovation, Nieto & Quevedo, (2005).…”

Many companies search and develop new innovations as pivotal activities for better approaches to fulfill the existing customer's requirements but failed to serve the future, service innovations that produce new markets. The absorptive capacity variables utilize the new external information and new knowledge in relation to the company innovativeness into the new product, new services, new processes, and new systems for internationalization achievement. This study investigates several factors that affect the service innovation capability based on samples of 38 Indonesian SMEs. We presume that our samples previously have a potential absorptive capacity as a basis to enhance their innovation capabilities and company's performance. We test the hypotheses on several samples of Indonesian SMEs, using multivariate OLS regression analysis and Multi Discriminant Analysis. The results indicate that the combined factors of "number sales & marketing", "product launching" and the "customer involvement" have a significant effect on "internationalization" in as a representation of service innovation capability. By keeping these "science-push" and "demand-pull" of SMEs on innovation as a top priority, the innovation opportunity will be alive and better practice under AEC implementation.

“…Absorptive capacity and internal R&D activities are closely linked (Cohen and Levinthal 1990;Murovec and Prodan 2009); hence, internal R&D activities may affect the relationship between external technology acquisition and subsequent innovation performance of firms. When firms utilise external technologies for innovation, there may be gaps between the internal knowledge base and the externally acquired technologies.…”

External technology acquisition: a double-edged sword

Firms are known to actively utilise external technology acquisition to update and extend their technological knowledge base. Although external technology acquisition has various advantages, it should be considered as a double-edged sword as it also has some inherent negative aspects. This study examines the role of external technology acquisition to investigate whether external technology acquisition is complementary or substitutive to internal R&D activities in creating innovation. The results show that external technology acquisition has an inverted U-shaped relationship with subsequent technology innovation performance, and that is not complementary to internal R&D activities. We thus confirm that external technology acquisition has to be seen as a double-edged sword and that managers need to be aware of the potentially negative effects of strong diversity of the firm's external technology acquisition sources on internal R&D and subsequent innovation performance.

“…A lack of strength of the influence may be understood by the generic character of absorptive capacity and (still) a short in specific absorptive capacity concerning eHealth. On the other hand, absorptive capacity tends to work differently according to specific circumstances and it is difficult to measure in a direct way [29], [35], [36].…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractA better understanding of factors influencing eHealth adoption is required given the strong policy attention to eHealth but a low level of actual adoption in many European countries. A model for organisational eHealth adoption is proposed in the study, derived from several adoption frameworks. The empirical part is based on a survey among hospitals in the Netherlands and includes a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. Specific attention is paid to measurement of organisational readiness and to adoption as a process including different stages. Our results suggest a sharp decrease in the adoption process after the stage of interest/commitment and significant influence of size of the hospital, organisational readiness including technical aspects, and support by top management of the hospital. The paper concludes with some organisational strategies and policies to foster eHealth adoption and suggestions for future study.
