The European Union's (EU) Cohesion Policy, the oldest policy within the EU, has undergone numerous transformations over more than three decades, evolving in both objectives and implementation instruments. The recent expansion of the European Union has rekindled discussions on the efficacy of...

Exploration and exploitation have opposite natures; therefore, balancing the two presents a key challenge for firms. Recent studies have argued that firms can combine exploration (exploitation) capabilities with exploitation (exploration) partnerships to surmount this obstacle. However, little...

To maintain competitiveness and sustainability, firms must implement a combination of internal and external strategies that enhance their innovation potential. This study identifies absorptive capacity (ACAP) as a strategic antecedent of open innovation (OI) and examines its effect on innovative...

The article examines how organizational wisdom influences innovation in museums and explores the role of organizational capacity in this relationship. The study employs a cross-sectional survey design, capturing data at a single point to analyze the mediating effect within a specific timeframe....

This study examined the relationship between technological absorptive capacity and the business performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as the mediating effect of e-business innovation. Based on data obtained from 179 sunflower oil-processing SMEs in Tanzania and...

The hope that multinational firms will improve local employment and productivity is a driving force behind policy efforts to attract investment. Such spillovers are often motivated by technological spillovers from foreign to domestic firms. We address this possibility by using the patenting...

This study explores the intricate relationships among absorptive capacity, innovation, and financial performance in nonfinancial firms. Using data from COMPUSTAT spanning 1966 to 2020, including 25,392 observations, Tobin's Q is used as a measure of financial performance. Absorptive capacity,...

This reflection paper examines the influence of administrative capacity on the absorption and effective use of Cohesion Policy funds. First, it examines the current level of absorption of Cohesion Policy funds in the 2014-2020 programming period. Second, a literature review on the relationship...

Wide-spread research demonstrates that frms which promote entrepreneurship are dynamic, fexible organisations which tend to realise greater innovation. The entrepreneurial orientation (EO)-frm performance relationship and its contingency factors remain an unresolved area of research in the...

Purpose - This study aims to evaluate the effect of diversity of knowledge and intrinsic motivation on individual absorptive capacity, its effect on innovative behavior at work, as well as the moderating effect of autonomy at work. Design/methodology/approach - Data collection was carried out at...

Firms' innovation positively affects their competitiveness and thus their financial performance. To bridge the research gap in the theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities and respond to the call for papers to explore new ways of analyzing innovation in family businesses, this study...

There is increasing awareness that customers and suppliers serve as key external information sources for the innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, existing research on the influence of customer participation (CP) and supplier participation (SP) remains inconsistent....

Do technologies embedded in imports boost domestic productivity? This paper investigates empirically the role of complementarities between absorptive capacity and imports. Different import categories are combined with different proxies for absorptive capacity. The database covers 18...

Dynamic capabilities are a major driver of strategic entry into new industries. Building on the dynamic capabilities approach and on strategy literature, I develop a model for strategists' assessment of entry. I examine two specific dynamic capabilities, namely absorptive capacity and new...

Purpose: This study aims to empirically analyze the effect of absorptive capacity, green dynamic capability, and green manufacturing practices (GMP) on green innovation performance (GIP). Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach was employed in this study, with data collected through...

In strategic and radical innovation, the degree of uncertainty and the amount of complexity is much higher compared to 'business as usual'. Therefore, idea management systems are often used to support such innovation processes. An interesting question is what we can learn from studying data in...
