Process innovation in small- and medium-sized enterprises: The critical roles of external knowledge sourcing and absorptive capacity (2020, background): “the importance of developing mechanisms and routines, particularly for firms operating under disrupted contexts and uncertainty, to identify new technological ideas and enable firms to bring external information back to their organizations effectively, especially when the firms have relationships wi”
The Microfoundations Movement in Strategy and Organization Theory (2015, background): “For example, Lewin et al. (2011) argue that the notion of absorptive capacity has become an “umbrella concept” without clear foundations.”
Stakeholder co-creation during the innovation process: Identifying capabilities for knowledge creation among multiple stakeholders (2016, background): “As such, absorptive capacity has often remained a black box (Bierly et al., 2009; Huang et al.; Lewin et al., 2011).”
Ready to Be Open? Explaining the Firm-Level Barriers to Benefiting from Openness to External Knowledge (2017, unknown): “Similarly, Lewin et al. (2011) highlight that individual boundary spanners have a central role in determining the effectiveness of external knowledge sourcing.”
Open for Ideation: Individual-level Openness and Idea Generation in R&D (2012, background): “As such, knowledge breadth should be an essential component of forming the individual-level absorptive capacity (Lewin et al., 2011; Volberda et al., 2010) necessary to benefit from open innovation activities.”
Depth and breadth of external knowledge search and performance: The mediating role of absorptive capacity (2015, background): “According to these authors, AC routines can be aimed at identifying and recognizing value of externally generated knowledge, learning from and with external sources or transferring knowledge back to the organization (Lewin et al., 2011:90).”
Benefiting From Alliance Portfolio Diversity (2014, background): “One problem with the study of such higher-order experiences and routines is their inherent intangibility, which has been a hindrance for empirical inquiry (Lewin et al., 2011).”
Exploitative and exploratory innovations in emerging economies: The role of realized absorptive capacity and learning intent (2019, background): “Thus, managers of local firms based in emerging economies must recognize the importance of developing internal routines for knowledge transformation and exploitation (Lewin et al., 2011).”
