The many faces of absorptive capacity: spillovers of copper interconnect technology for semiconductor chips
通过铜互连技术案例，发现吸收能力存在学科型、领域型和编码型三种形式，每种形式对应不同的研发管理和内外知识连接方式，对技术吸收策略有重要启示。
A case study of copper interconnect technology suggests that absorptive capacity exist in three forms: disciplinary, domain specific and encoded. Each involves different ways of managing R&D and linking internal to external research. Disciplinary absorptive capacity requires a firm to actively engage with the scientific community, while protecting domain-specific knowledge. Domain-specific absorptive capacity depends upon influencing disciplinary research at universities and consortia, then capturing domain knowledge through collaboration and hiring. As technology develops, it becomes encoded, and absorption depends increasingly upon integrating knowledge from suppliers. Hence, absorptive capacity is a multifaceted construct that is heavily shaped by the type and maturity of technology absorbed. Copyright 2009 The Author 2009.
