Preparing for distant collaboration: Antecedents to potential absorptive capacity in cross-industry innovation
Ellen Enkel,Sebastian Heil +1 more
TL;DR: This study revealed three alternative approaches to coordination antecedents that drive a firm's potential absorptive capacity for distant collaboration beyond established industry boundaries to gain radical rather than incremental results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic structure and organisational learning as the main antecedents of workforce agility
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model of the impact of two organisational characteristics, namely organisational learning and an organic structure (with three dimensions, which are decentralization of decision-making, low formalization and a flat structure), on workforce agility was developed and empirically tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowing, Power and Materiality: A Critical Review and Reconceptualization of Absorptive Capacity
Marco Marabelli,Sue Newell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the absorptive capacity (AC) construct should be interpreted in light of the possession and the practice perspectives of knowledge and power, and they suggest an interpretation of the construct that takes into account knowledge-power relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic Renewal: Past Research, Theoretical Tensions and Future Challenges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three key theoretical tensions at the heart of strategic renewal research, namely learning vs. resource, induced vs. autonomous, and co-alignment vs. co-creation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overcoming the false dichotomy between internal R&D and external knowledge acquisition: Absorptive capacity dynamics over time
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that externally-sourced knowledge takes less time to absorb and exploit than internally-generated knowledge, but that internal knowledge creates higher returns over the longer term.

Absorptive capacity: a new perspective on learning and innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovative capabilities.

Absorptive Capacity: A Review, Reconceptualization, and Extension
Shaker A. Zahra,Gerard George +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key dimensions of absorptive capacity and offer a reconceptualization of this construct, and distinguish between a firm's potential and realized capacity, and then advance a model outlining the conditions when the firm's realized capacities can differentially influence the creation and sustenance of its competitive advantage.
