...) by considering the moderating role of absorptive capacity (ACAP). Design/methodology/approach This study utilized a quantitative method through a survey questionnaire. The hypotheses were tested with a sample size of 202 surveys completed by SME owners. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS...

...Ching-Hsun Chang; Yu-Shan Chen; Chin-Wei Tseng Purpose This study proposes the novel construct of digital transformation anxiety and investigates its effect, which is mediated by absorptive capacity and dynamic capability, on digital innovation performance. Design/methodology/approach...

... chain resilience and absorptive capacity in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis involves 304 manufacturing firms and uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). A two-step hierarchical component model has been employed, considering...

... to undertake an empirical investigation into the enabling factors which lead to the practice of formulating an effective data-led strategy (EDLS). Leveraging the theoretical lenses of the resource-based view, absorptive capacity and attention-focus view, a range of various factors are hypothesised to influence...

...Zhenkuo Ding; Meijuan Li; Xiaoying Yang; Wanjun Xiao Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how absorptive capacity mediates the relationship between ambidextrous organizational learning and performance among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach...

...Makhmoor Bashir; Sudeepta Pradhan Purpose This paper aims to explore the importance of knowledge-oriented leadership in the context of business model innovation (BMI) and open innovation. This study also seeks to explore the existence of a mediating effect of absorptive capacity. Design...

... ; Oliveira-Dias et al., 2022). Even less is known about how the two aspects (absorptive capacity (AC) and resilience) of DCs are linking SCCDCs and the three dimensions of sustainability, as prior research has predominantly focussed on only one aspect of DC or one dimension of sustainability (e.g...

.... It constructs the dimensions of risk-taking capability in terms of absorptive capacity, network resources and organizational slack. Firms equipped with a high level of risk-taking capabilities benefit from risk-taking activities and should, therefore, embrace risk. 16 02 2022 30 05 2022 17 10...

...Yasmin Fayad; Raghda El Ebrashi Purpose This paper studies the role of inter-firm supply chain social capital and intra-firm social capital in enabling Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE), and also investigates the moderating and mediating effect of absorptive capacity. Design/methodology...

...Huseyin Ince; Salih Zeki Imamoglu; Hulya Turkcan Purpose This paper investigates the impact of absorptive capacity (ACAP) on creativity and the effect of creativity on job performance. Further, the study investigates the moderating role of social media usage on the ACAP–creativity link...

... of a firm's knowledge accumulation and innovation is proposed in which it specifies relationships among absorptive capacity, knowledge breadth, research and development (R&D), knowledge depth, exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation, and then it is empirically tested by using the structural...

..., respectively. On one side, the main benefits highlighted in the study are related to: stakeholder engagement, flexibility, knowledge transfer, signaling role, agility and interactivity; on the other side, the risks identified are related to: complexity, absorptive capacity, divergences, capabilities...

... when accessing, assimilating, and exploiting the knowledge embedded in an expanded set of services provided by an outsourcing supplier. Originality/value This study extends the absorptive capacity perspective by showing that a client’s efficiency reinforces its opportunities to absorb knowledge...

... Licensed re-use rights only This paper explores how learning processes supported by intensive use of design can favour absorptive capacity in open innovation contexts characterised by the interaction of a high number of diverse stakeholders. The paper combines the insights from theory...

... involves the mediating role of firms' strategic agility (SA) as well as the contingent effects of firms' absorptive capacity (AC). Design/methodology/approach This study employed a cross-sectional design to evaluate the hypothesized model. To validate the moderated mediation model, data was collected...

..., convergent and discriminant validity and stable structure across industries and over time. Findings This research integrates the dynamic capability literature with absorptive capacity measurement to propose and validate a multi-item and bidimensional scale for national innovation surveys.
