Revisiting the Concept of Absorptive Capacity
Author: Jan Simon FeyThe Concept and the Reconceptualization of Absorptive Capacity
Author: Gergana TodorovaPublisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Zahra and George (2002) suggested a reconceptualization and extension of the construct "absorptive capacity" in order to reduce the ambiguity and diversity in empirical studies. A reading of the seminal article by Cohen and Levinthal (1990) in light of current research on learning and innovation allowed us to address several ambiguities and underdeveloped links in the proposed new definition and model of absorptive capacity. As suggested in this note, researchers and practitioners will benefit from (1) a redefinition of the first component of the construct, i.e., of "acquisition"; (2) a refinement of the explanation and links of the new component, i.e., of "transformation"; (3) clarifying the new concepts of "potential absorptive capacity" and "realized absorptive capacity" in terms of contents and contribution to value creation; (4) a further elaboration on impact of the contingent conditions of socialization mechanisms and appropriability; (5) adding a new contingent factor, power relationships (6) adding feedback loops in the model of absorptive capacity.

Organizational Learning
Author: Linda ArgotePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461452511
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Why do some organizations learn at faster rates than others? Why do organizations "forget"? Could productivity gains acquired in one part of an organization be transferred to another? These are among the questions addressed in Organizational Learning: Creating, Retaining and Transferring Knowledge. Since its original publication in 1999, this book has set the standard for research and analysis in the field. This fully updated and expanded edition showcases the most current research and insights, featuring a new chapter that provides a theoretical framework for analyzing organizational learning and presents evidence about how the organizational context affects learning processes and outcomes. Drawing from a wide array of studies across the spectrum of management, economics, sociology, and psychology, Organizational Learning explores the dynamics of learning curves in organizations, with particular emphasis on how individuals and groups generate, share, reinforce, and sometimes forget knowledge. With an increased emphasis on service organizations, including healthcare, Linda Argote demonstrates that organizations vary dramatically in the rates at which they learn—with profound implications for productivity, performance, and managerial and strategic decision making.

Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities
Author: Vaneet KaurPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030216497
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This book provides a knowledge-based view to the dynamic capabilities in an organization. The author integrates two existing views on gaining competitive advantage: the Knowledge View which suggests that the capability of organizations to learn faster than competitors is the only source of competitiveness; and the Dynamic Capability View which speculates that a firm’s competitive advantage rests on dynamic capabilities which enable a firm to constantly renew the stock of ordinary organizational capabilities in accordance with the changes in the business environment. Using the IT sector in India as a case study, this book provides and tests a new framework--Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities—in the prediction of competitive advantage in organizations.
