Absorptive Capacity: A Review, Reconceptualization, and Extension
回顾吸收能力文献，识别其关键维度，基于动态能力观重新概念化，区分潜在与实现能力，并分析它们如何差异化影响企业竞争优势的创造与维持。
Researchers have used the absorptive capacity construct to explain various organizational phenomena. In this article we review the literature to identify key dimensions of absorptive capacity and offer a reconceptualization of this construct. Building upon the dynamic capabilities view of the firm, we distinguish between a firm's potential and realized capacity. We then advance a model outlining the conditions when the firm's potential and realized capacities can differentially influence the creation and sustenance of its competitive advantage.
