“…AC is defined as “the ability of individuals to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit knowledge or obtain information” [ 24 ]. AC has primarily been studied by the Entrepreneurship and Business scholars at organizational and groups’ levels [ 25 ]. Albeit, group or organization’s AC is a composite of individual skills and knowledge [ 24 ].…”

Aim/objective Given an escalated interest in fostering environmental protection, scholars have associated green entrepreneurial behavior as a stimulating factor and the cornerstone of green entrepreneurial performance. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism that nurtures university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior is yet to be explored in the extant literature. Our study proposes the antecedent effects of institutional support and green knowledge transfer to enhance university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior. Moreover, we also expand the boundary conditions of these relationships and suggest the mediating effect of university students’ absorptive capacity and the moderating effect of environmental responsibility. Methodology The study samples university graduates in Chinese universities (N = 434) by adopting a lagged research design spanning over three months. We assessed the proposed model through the multivariate analytical technique. Findings The findings indicate that institutional support and green knowledge transfer significantly elevate university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior. Further, these relationships are intervened considerably through absorptive capacity’s mediating effect and environmental responsibility’s moderating effect. Implications By investigating the crucial roles of institutional support and green knowledge transfer in culminating university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior, our study extends the boundary conditions of these relationships and investigates the hitherto unexplored moderated mediation model.

“…A partir dos anos 2000, avanços sobre o tema são observados basicamente em quatro macroperspectivas, como a discussões sobre ' ACAP e Redes' envolvendo colaborações com atores externos, transferência de conhecimento e inovação aberta (Rothaermel & Thursby, 2005;Benson & Ziedonis, 2009;Fukugawa, 2013;Flor et al, 2017;von Briel et al, 2019;Kato, 2020); ' ACAP, Antecedentes e Potencial de realização' relacionando PACAP e impacto na performance de inovação, grau de inovação, e escalas de mensuração (Deeds, 2001;Nooteboom et al, 2007;Camisón & Forés, 2010;Teigland et al, 2014;Hughes et al, 2017;Ho et al, 2020;Chung et al, 2021); ' ACAP e Fatores/Recursos internos ou externos' envolvendo exploração de recursos, fatores para produção da inovação, e capacidades dinâmicas (Jantunen, 2005;Serrano-Bedia et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2019); e ' ACAP e Estratégias de Inovação' relacionando posicionamento estratégico, criação de conhecimento tecnológico, cultura organizacional e economia do conhecimento (Veugelers & Cassiman, 1999;Mueller, 2007;Anatoliivna, 2013;Luo et al, 2017;Dabic et al, 2020).…”

Objetivo: Verificar a contribuição da Capacidade Absortiva (ACAP) para a difusão da inovação em Novas Empresas de Base Tecnológica (NEBTs) e startups estabelecidas no Distrito Federal brasileiro. Método: Estudo de entrevistas em profundidade com 20 empreendimentos inovadores, 12 (doze) startups e 8 (oito) NEBTs. Os resultados discutem dois itens de análise: Análise do perfil dos empreendimentos e a Análise da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD) e de conteúdo, em uma perspectiva comparativa acerca de 14 categorias temáticas. Resultados: Observou-se que fatores de desenvolvimento do Potencial da Capacidade Absortiva (PACAP) atuam como antecedentes da difusão da inovação. Já os fatores relacionados à Capacidade Absortiva Realizada (RACAP) estão envolvidos diretamente com a difusão da inovação, com destaque para a capacidade de gerar resultados de inovação por meio de canais de introdução mercadológica, adoção de novas tecnologias e investimentos financeiros. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O estudo contribui para o campo teórico, ainda carente de produção especialmente regional, sobre a relação entre os construtos investigados no contexto de empreendimentos inovadores. Mecanismos de apoio, podem obter insights para aprimorarem o suporte oferecido que facilitem o acesso ao conhecimento a ser absorvido para sua conversão em inovações. Relevância/originalidade: A pesquisa amplia a compreensão da relação entre a ACAP e a difusão da inovação, envolvendo a absorção de conhecimento e a dinâmica destes construtos por meio de fatores críticos em contextos específicos ainda pouco investigados, como nas NEBTs e startups envolvendo ecossistemas regionais de inovação. Contribuições gerenciais/sociais: A investigação empírica e fatores abordados fornecem possíveis implicações gerenciais para práticas dos próprios empreendimentos ao desenvolverem inovações, bem como para o planejamento, desenvolvimento ou para o fortalecimento de ambientes e políticas de apoio.

Purpose: To verify the contribution of the Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) to the diffusion of innovation in New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) and startups in the Brazilian Federal District. Method: In-depth interviews study with 20 innovative firms, 12 (twelve) startups and 8 (eight) NTBFs. The results are discussed in two items of analysis: Analysis of the profile of the firms and the Analysis of the Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and of the content, in a comparative perspective around 14 thematic categories. Findings: The development factors associated with the Potential of Absorptive Capacity (PACAP) were observed as the antecedents of the diffusion of innovation. On the other hand, factors related to the Realized Absorptive Capacity (RACAP) are involved directly in the diffusion of innovation, with emphasis on the ability to generate innovation results through channels of market introduction, adoption of new technologies and financial investments. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study contributes to the theoretical field, still lacking in production, especially regionally, on the relationship between the constructs investigated in the context of innovative firms. Supporting programs, can gain insights to improve the advanced support that facilitates access to knowledge to be adopted and conversion into innovation. Relevance/originality: The research extends the understanding of the relationship between ACAP and the diffusion of innovation, involving the absorption of knowledge and the dynamics of these constructs through the integration of critical factors in specific contexts still little investigated, such as in NTBFs and startups involving regional innovation ecosystems. Management/Social Contributions: The empirical investigation and factors addressed provide managerial implications for the practices of these firms when developing innovations, as well as for planning, developing or strengthening innovation programs and policies.
