Descripción
Sumario:Absorptive capacity is the mechanism for companies to acquire, assimilate and exploit new knowledge from abroad and respond assertively. Strategic orientation is perceived when that knowledge is expanded to create the desired results. The purpose is to analyze the relationship between absorptive capacity and organizational responsiveness, as well as to demonstrate the moderation of strategic orientation in this relationship. The results show that the dimensions of the absorption capacity: acquisition, assimilation and exploitation of external knowledge as well as strategic orientation are positive predictors of organizational response capacity. Using a hierarchical regression model, it is identified that the strategic orientation neither amplifies nor attenuates the relationship between absorption capacity and response capacity. The response capacity is expected to increase when organizations develop absorption capacity and strategic orientation.
