“…We measure access to knowledge using two Likert-type scale items adapted from Nielsen and Nielsen's (2009) and Jensen, van den Bosch, and Volberda's (2005) studies that capture the extent to which the partner restricts your firm's access to the knowledge bases and the extent to which the partner's cooperative structure in knowledge transfer and learning is open and flexible.…”

Institutional distance can generate expanded opportunities for multinational firms to facilitate learning and responsiveness. However, such distance can also create obstacles regarding knowledge transfer and integration. A theoretical puzzle concerns the mechanisms and conditions in which international buyers and suppliers can overcome institutional distance and acquire new knowledge. We develop an integrative moderated-mediation model in which institutional distance prevents parties from accessing knowledge but, when knowledge is obtained and mutual trust is developed, it promotes cross-border knowledge acquisition in international buyer-supplier exchange, particularly between international firms and firms from the Asia Pacific region. These findings indicate that firms can overcome the challenges of regulative and cognitive distance and facilitate access to knowledge and knowledge acquisition when they are able to develop and cultivate relationships of mutual trust with foreign partners. While normative distance may create learning incentives and opportunities in international buyer-supplier relationships, its impacts on knowledge accessibility and acquisition are insignificant.

“…A criação de valor e o progresso das operações internas, a partir do conhecimento, estão atreladas à capacidade de absorção, tida como a habilidade de cada organização em adquirir, assimilar, transformar e explorar da melhor maneira possível conhecimentos novos e externos (Jansen, Van den Bosch, & Volberda, 2005).…”

“…Potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity are divided based on the dimension of process. Potential absorptive capacity includes knowledge acquisition and assimilation, which mainly focusses on knowledge exploration, while realized absorptive capacity includes knowledge transformation and exploitation, which mainly focusses on knowledge exploitation (Zahra & George, 2002;Jansen, Van Den Bosch, & Volberda, 2005). Breath of absorptive capacity and depth of absorptive capacity, however, are divided on features of knowledge (breadth and depth of knowledge).…”

Although previous studies have considered the antecedents and outcomes of absorptive capacity, much remains to be learned on this subject. Firms need to absorb breadth and depth of knowledge and form absorptive capacities that are contingent on various social capitals to improve innovation and performance. The purpose of this study is to explore the antecedents and outcomes of the breadth and depth of absorptive capacity from the perspective of social capital theory. Based on a sample of 218 Chinese firms, empirical results suggest that weak tie sources and knowledge breadth can enhance the breadth of absorptive capacity, and that strong tie sources and knowledge depth can strengthen the depth of absorptive capacity. The results also suggest that the breadth of absorptive capacity positively impacts the depth of absorptive capacity, and that both breadth and depth of absorptive capacity are positively related to innovation performance.
