Impact of absorptive capacity and dominant logic on innovation performance of public sector organizations in Hefei (Anhui Province), China

Abstract

Public organization's performance depends on multiple aspects in which there are different political and public actors involved. In this study, we discuss the innovation performance of public organizations' in Hefei (Anhui province), China. Our targeted group for this study were public sector employees at different levels within the organizations being considered. We checked the effect of absorptive capacity (ACAP), and dominant logic on public organization's innovation performance. We found that absorptive capacity and dominant logic had a positive relationship with firms' performance. Furthermore, these predictors were not only improving firm's performance, but also bring innovation into the public organizations.

Investigating the Impact of Information Technology, Absorptive Capacity, and Dynamic Capabilities on Firm Performance: An Empirical Study

“…Therefore, a high PACAP does not inherently mean an increase in performance. The transition is included in RACAP (Khan et al, 2017b) and exploiting the acquired knowledge by integrating it into the activities of the firm. PACAP can be viewed as an accumulation of new knowledge, whereas RACAP can be considered as a mechanism for the exposing and implementing this valuable knowledge.…”

“…Otherwise, RACAP will be destroyed as well as the valuable knowledge (Leal-Rodríguez et al, 2014). Recent IT research has focused on the influence of ACAP on the FP in both the public (Khan et al, 2017a) and private sectors. In addition, the development and use of ICTs inside an organization provides an intelligence channel to promotion of ACAP-related knowledge, including assimilation, acquisition, transformation, and exploitation (Bolívar-Ramos et al, 2013).…”

“…In addition, ACAP which is frequently perceived as a firm's information-based perspective, not only acquires and utilizes external knowledge to enhance the firm's innovation activities, but it may also impacts the firm's internal structure for the advancement of operational tasks and business performance. It is impossible for firms to incorporate and implement external expertise in the absence of ACAP (Khan et al, 2017a). In literature, limited studies investigate the relationship between IT and ACAP, even though IT utilization and infrastructure are the important factors in the firm's development, especially for SMEs (Chang et al, 2018).…”

Creative methods of innovation process management as the law of competitiveness

“…new products, technologies, organization, relations with partners, etc.). The performance of enterprises in this area largely depends on their competence, managerial skills and implemented innovative strategies (Khan et al, 2017). It should be noted that in today's business environment, the company's competitiveness is ensured by the creation of a product that is innovative and has features that differentiate it from the product of competitors and provide the company an advantage in the market.…”

From Principals' Inspirational Vision Content and Potential Absorptive Capacity to Realized Absorptive Capacity: Predicting Teacher Absenteeism

“…Finally, recent research has focused on the role of ACAP in innovation (e.g., Kang & Lee, 2017), intra-organizational knowledge transfer and organizational learning (e.g., Saraf et al, 2013), and business performance (e.g., Khan et al, 2017). However, the relations between ACAP and absenteeism have never been examined (Da'as, 2007).…”
