- Does social capital matter for supply chain resilience? The role of absorptive capacity and marketing-supply chain management alignment (2020, methodology): “2 Measurement We used the existing validated scales for measuring social capital (Acquaah, 2007; Zahra, 2010), absorptive capacity (Flatten et al., 2011), marketing-SCM alignment (Ashenbaum et al.”
- Non-R&D SMEs: external knowledge, absorptive capacity and product innovation (2014, background): “Work in this direction has begun (Flatten et al. 2011), but so far without much relevance for non-R&D firms (testing on German research-intensive firms only).”
- Absorptive Capacity and Firm Performance in SMEs: The Mediating Influence of Strategic Alliances (2011, methodology): “To close this research gap, the present study uses a newly established scale to measure ACAP, which was introduced in a recent study by Flatten et al. (2011).”
- Absorptive capacity, learning processes and combinative capabilities as determinants of strategic innovation (2012, background): “Even if this conceptualisation is based on a broad range of research (e.g., Camisón & Forés, 2010; Flatten et al., 2011; Kostopoulos, Papalexandris, Papachroni, & Ioannou, 2010; Lev et al., 2009), future research could benefit from alternative conceptualisations.”
- The effects of public support schemes on small and medium enterprises (2015, background): “Although in the past absorptive capacity was measured by R&D proxies, Flatten et al. (2011) point out that this approach does not adequately capture the concept.”
