Citations in the corpus
- The impact of sustainable tourism indicators on destination competitiveness: the European Tourism Indicator System (2021, background): “ACAP is conceptualised as a learning journey through which organisations acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit knowledge (Todorova & Durisin, 2007; Zahra & George, 2002).”
- Imprinting by Design: The Microfoundations of Entrepreneurial Adaptation (2014, background): “Additional organizational benefits could be the ability to enhance absorptive capacity and exploratory search, by creating a memory system that supports a more adaptive collective narrative and distal search (Todorova & Durisin, 2007).”
- Knowledge absorptive capacity: New insights for its conceptualization and measurement☆ (2010, methodology): “Nonetheless, Todorova and Durisin (2007) question whether knowledge assimilation and knowledge transformation capacities are two different sequential processes.”
- The relationship between knowledge search strategies and absorptive capacity: A deeper look (2016, background): “Later, Todorova and Durisin (2007) suggested that assimilation and transformation are parallel rather than sequential capabilities.”
- Absorptive capacity, learning processes and combinative capabilities as determinants of strategic innovation (2012, background): “Zahra and George (2002) and Jansen, van den Bosch, and Volberda (2005) conceptualise the sequence as a linear relationship between acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation, whereas Todorova and Durisin (2007) interpret assimilation and transformation as two parallel elements.”
- Knowledge Internalization and Product Development in Family Firms: When Relational and Affective Factors Matter (2016, background): “For instance, Zahra and George (2002) depict knowledge transformation as the result of knowledge assimilation, but Todorova and Durisin (2007) view the former as an alternative process.”
- Absorptive Capacity and Information Systems Research: Review, Synthesis, and Directions for Future Research (2012, background): “2 The distinction between assimilation and transformation lies in what happens to the firm’s existing knowledge base (Todorova and Durisin 2007).”
