“…Likewise, this study contributes to understanding the variables that affect innovation in companies, such as their absorptive capacity. This study provides empirical evidence in this regard, specifically in Colombian companies, contributing to the knowledge of absorptive capacity in Latin America, a subject that, as has been pointed out by other authors (e.g., Ortigueira-Sánchez et al, 2020; Zuñiga-Collazos et al, 2020), has so far been vaguely studied in the region.…”

“…Then, the mediating role of organizational climate for innovation in the transition from Potential to Realized ACAP will be explored. This research contributes to filling the gap in the mediating variables that allow companies to enhance their Realized ACAP, increasing their innovation capacity, which is a specially relevant topic in Latin America, where the empirical evidence about innovation development is still very limited (Zuñiga-Collazos et al, 2020).…”

The absorptive capacity is related to knowledge evaluation and acquisition (Potential Capacity), as well as to the transformation and exploitation of such knowledge (Realized Capacity). This research aims to analyze the absorptive capacity in Colombian companies and to investigate whether the Realized capacity can be predicted from the Potential capacity. Likewise, due to the importance of the context on the absorptive capacity development, the mediating role of the organizational climate for innovation was tested. Through a cross-sectional study, a total of 260 employees from different companies completed the Absorptive Capacity Scale and the Organizational Climate for Innovation Scale. The results showed that Potential absorptive capacity is needed for Realized absorptive capacity, additionally, organizational climate for innovation exerted a mediator role in this transition. These findings highlight that companies should have an organizational climate that allows them to acquire and transform knowledge in order to increase their innovativeness and be more competitive. Further studies should analyze the organizational innovation in relation to the proposed and tested model, while considering employees from different industrial sectors.

“…In general terms, AC refers to the abilities the firm develops over time with the goal of continuously using external knowledge to create a competitive advantage (Flatten et al, 2011;Zuñiga-Collazos et al, 2019). Cohen and Levinthal (1990) argue that for the firm to develop IC, it must be able to recognize the value of new knowledge in the environment and have the ability to assimilate it and use it for commercial purposes in a variety of ways.…”

PurposeDespite the increase in studies focused on analyzing the potential of big data analytics capability (BDAC) as a driver of product and process innovation, it is still necessary to understand how the use of insights generated by BDAC in innovation may be maximized through articulation with individuals' intellect and other processes involving the assimilation and transformation of knowledge. This study thus aims to analyze the impact of BDAC's deployment on innovation capability (IC – process and product innovation capabilities), taking absorptive capacity (AC) as mediating variable in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachStructural equations were used to test the research model with survey data from 112 firms located in an emerging country that is one of the digital transformation leaders in the region.FindingsThe results show that 37% of process IC variance is explained by the indirect relationship via the variable mediator (AC), while in the case of product IC this percentage is 34%.Originality/valueThese results allow us to ascertain the extent to which individuals continue to be relevant to generating product and process innovation in the digital age at a time when the literature anticipates a total loss of prominence due to the arrival of new digital technologies. However, in the case of the relationship between BDAC and ICs, the existence of a partial mediation of AC indicates that individuals continue to play a role that, albeit not being the most prominent, remains relevant in ensuring that a company maximizes the assimilation and transformation of the insights generated by BDAC in new products and processes.

PurposeExisting research on knowledge management processes (KMPs) and absorptive capacity (ACAP) is primarily conceptual and descriptive in nature, and empirical research confirming the real impact of KMPs when developing ACAP is lacking. Furthermore, the relationship between ACAP and organizational performance (OP) has not been adequately studied. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to introduce a comprehensive, delineated and integrated conceptual model which encompasses KMPs, ACAP and OP. Then, an empirical investigation is undertaken to test the relationships among the proposed study model variables.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 245 questionnaires were useable. Partial least square 3.3.3 is utilized to examine the validity of the measurement model and test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings of this study suggest that KMPs influence ACAP and ACAP affects OP. Finally, the results show that KMPs affect OP directly and indirectly through ACAP (mediator).Practical implicationsThe results of this study help managers to ascertain the managerial practices that can be employed as well as determine the level of effort and resources necessary to enhance ACAP. Additionally, managers should shed additional light on the ACAP's positive implications for OP.Originality/valueThis study focuses on the conceptualization of KMP and empirically tests the effect of these individual processes on ACAP and on OP. Finally, the relationship between KMPs and OP, although implied, needs to be addressed empirically in the research literature through utilizing ACAP as mediator between KMPs and OP, this appears to be the first study to try to achieve this main objective.
