Abstract: |
Absorptive capacity, defined as
the organizational capability to identify, absorb and exploit knowledge, is
one of the most discussed topics in the management literature. Yet, its
complex nature makes it almost impossible to empirically test it. This paper
develops SimAC, an agent-based simulation tool that
enables studying and comparing different absorptive capacity strategies,
their related financial payoffs, and their knowledge creation potential
through time. |
