Organisations are finding it increasingly more difficult to keep abreast with the pace of change. The continuous rise in the number of business opportunities and the increase in global competition require firms to combine internal and external learning processes to renew and reconfigure existing capabilities and knowledge to enable them to meet environmental demands and to innovate. This study aims to unravel the complex linkage between internal learning capacity and absorptive capacity and at exploring the joint effect of both knowledge generation processes on innovation capacity. This study also proposes innovation capacity as an antecedent of business performance. Using data from 952 industrial Spanish firms and the technique of structural equation modelling, we provide evidence on the joint effect of internal learning capacity and absorptive capacity on innovation capacity. We also show that innovation capacity acts as a catalyst for the effect of learning capacities on business performance. [-]

Disruptive technology adoption, particularities of clustered firms
Molina-Morales, F. Xavier; Martínez-Cháfer, Luis; Valiente-Bordanova, David Taylor & Francis (2019)This article explores to what extent the internal attributes of a clustered firm influence its capacity to adopt disruptive innovations. A multidimensional approach to the absorptive capacity (ACAP) model is used to ... -
An exploratory analysis of the relationship between absorptive capacity and business strategy
Flor, M. Luisa; Oltra-Mestre, Maria J. Taylor & Francis (2013-10)In this study, we argue that a firm's absorptive capacity will vary depending on the strategy it adopts. To examine this, based on the fact that absorptive capacity is developed through the ability to acquire, assimilate, ... -
Knowledge creation and absorptive capacity: The effect of intra-district shared competences
CAMISON, CESAR; Forés, Beatriz Elsevier (2011)This paper takes a cross-level approach in contributing to defining the competences accumulated and shared in an industrial district, and to explaining how they differ from firm-specific, knowledge-based capacities. From ...
