Absorptive capacity: Valuing a reconceptualization
重新审视Zahra和George对吸收能力的重新概念化，指出其模糊性和遗漏，并提出改进建议，包括重新引入“识别价值”、澄清“潜在吸收能力”等，对组织学习和创新研究者有参考价值。
Zahra and George (2002) suggested a reconceptualization of the absorptive capacity construct in order to reduce ambiguity in empirical studies. A rereading of the seminal Cohen and Levinthal (1990) article in light of current research on learning and innovation directs our attention to serious ambiguities and omissions in Zahra and George's reconceptualization. We suggest a reintroduction of “recognizing the value,” an alternative understanding of “transformation,” a clarification of “potential absorptive capacity,” an elaboration of the impact of socialization mechanisms, an investigation of the role of “power relationships,” and an inclusion of feedback loops in a dynamic model of absorptive capacity.
