Systems thinking and absorptive capacity in high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises from South Korea
研究了系统思维如何影响高科技中小企业的吸收能力,并基于韩国半导体行业数据检验其对绩效的作用。
This article develops and tests absorptive capacity’s relationship with one of its important forerunners – systems thinking – which, although postulated as an important element, has received little empirical attention in the absorptive capacity literature. Our contribution lies in the introduction of unique pathways through which systems thinking influences absorptive capacity and how it affects various interrelated dimensions of high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises’ performance, by examining evidence from South Korea’s semiconductor industry.
