The Effect of Absorptive Capacity on Innovativeness: Context and Information Systems Capability as Catalysts
通过对286家西班牙大企业的实证研究，发现吸收能力是提升公司创新性的关键动态因素，其中企业的去学习情境和信息系统能力分别对潜在和实现的吸收能力起催化作用。
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between absorptive capacity and company innovativeness and to identify potential contexts and capabilities that can act as catalysts for these relationships. We also examine the relationship between absorptive capacity and the existence and enhancement of innovativeness. These relationships are examined through an empirical investigation of 286 large Spanish companies. Our results show that absorptive capacity is an important dynamic determinant for developing a company's innovativeness. Moreover, this relationship is best explained by two related constructs. First, the company's unlearning context is a crucial determinant for both potential capacity and realized absorptive capacity. Second, the results also indicate a tangible means for managers to enhance their absorptive capacity through information systems capabilities.
