“…Absorptive capacity has a positive effect on innovation capacity, i.e., acquisition and assimilation of knowledge and ability to turn it into a newly created knowledge allows creating new ideas and innovation in the context of project teams (LealRodríguez, Roldán, Ariza-Montes, & Leal-Millán, 2014). Companies should not only manage external accumulation of knowledge, but also adapt their skills (systematizing, coordinating and promoting dissemination of knowledge) in order to succeed with the generation of innovation (Vicente-Oliva, Martínez-Sánchez, & Berges-Muro, 2015). A firm's capacity to assimilate and exploit knowledge may be related to utilization of this knowledge in the search for forms of innovation.…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between absorptive capacity, intellectual capital and innovation. The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate that absorptive capacity can leverage the relation between intellectual capital and innovation potential. The method was a single case study using exploratory and descriptive research strategies and applying both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The case study investigated was a Brazilian corporation that has been doing business in the paper and corrugated cardboard industry for 72 years. The paper describes a case analysis demonstrating that adoption of practices associated with absorptive capacity has potential to foster intellectual capital, which is particularly important for development of innovations. These practices include assimilation of new technologies; creating capacity to utilize existing internal knowledge held by employees; use of benchmarking; application of technical knowledge; and registration of patents. Triangulation of data provided evidence confirming that the relationship between absorptive capacity and intellectual capital is a driver of innovation in the firm investigated. Additionally, this relationship is better explained by the mediating role of absorptive capacity, which is capable of potentiating intellectual capital to foster innovation.

“…The marketing and selling actions that integrate and exploit in a proper way these factors could obtain an increase in the global returns on sales. • Internal Innovation (Int_Inno1): "The term "innovation" includes activities that are not objectively new, but they are new activities that have not been previously performed in the firm" (Vicente-Oliva, Martínez & Berges, 2015). Abilities and internal materials are required so that the proposals will turn into reality.…”

The banking industry has been forced to restructure its processes to get adapted to a more technological environment as a consequence of the changes experienced in the market. Academic literature has paid special attention to the most critical relationship at firms, customers. Customer relationship management (CRM) offers good opportunities to increase efficiencies in this relationship. For this reason, this research analyses to what extent the implementation of CRM systems in the banking industry has offered good results in terms of dynamic capabilities. For that, some dynamic capabilities have been identified after CRMs implementation process has taken place. A theoretical model has been built and empirically validated by means of a representative sample of banking firms applying structural equation model analysis (SEM). Results show how firms, by properly implementing CRM systems, can reach dynamic capabilities. As main practical implications for firms, it is interesting to orient CRMs implementation to reach dynamic capabilities.

“…Há apontamentos de que uma estrutura coordenada de gerenciamento de conhecimento e com fluxos de conhecimento fáceis beneficiam tanto a capacidade absortiva potencial quanto à capacidade absortiva realizada em projetos (Vicente-Oliva et al, 2015). Além disso, Bartsch destacaram que há uma carência de estudos que analisam capacidade absortiva em gerenciamento de projetos (Lima, 2015).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to understand the intellectual structure of studies on absorptive capacity in project managementTheoretical framework – The ability to perceive external knowledge, assimilate it, and apply it for commercial purposes is defined as absorbing capacity. This capacity provides organizations with competitive advantages. Also, studies have pointed out projects as a powerful weapon to create organizational value. However, little is known about absorptive capacity in project management and it is in this gap that this work is inserted.Design/methodology/approach – For this purpose, a systematic literature review of articles published on absorptive capacity in the International Journal of Project Management (IJPM), and Project Management Journal (PMJ), and International Journal of Managing Projects in Business was conducted.Findings – The main findings noted the existence of two lines of research in project management that address the construction of absorptive capacity. The first line of research presents articles that deal with the transfer of knowledge between projects and organizations. Articles in this line present that knowledge transfer depends on the organization that will receive the project as well as presents the importance of different mechanisms of social integration in this process. In the other line, absorptive capacity and performance in projects, the different roles of the absorptive capacity realized and potential in the performance of the projects were identified. Originality/value – The article contributed to the project management literature when it identified the lines of research in which absorptive capacity is inserted in the area and proposed a research agenda.
