GONZALEZ-CAMPO, Carlos Hernán y HURTADO AYALA, Andrea. Influence of absorption capacity on innovation: An empirical analysis in Colombian SMES. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.132, pp.277-286. ISSN 0123-5923.
This article presents the absorptive capacity as a multidimensional construct, and aims to determine the presence of this capacity in Colombian SMEs and its relationship with innovation, being one of the first studies in this field in Colombia. A two-stage cluster analysis was performed using a sample of 403 Colombian SMEs, in order to demonstrate that the absorption capacity is not a determinant factor of innovation in these companies, but that absorption capacity develops mainly in small businesses in Colombia. It also shows that innovation processes are determined by the competitive strategies undertaken by each type of company.
