The role of prevailing individual absorptive capacity versus absorptive capacity development for different innovation outcomes

Mette Praest Knudsen et al.

Summary: This study, using absorptive capacity theory, examines whether organizations should outsource knowledge acquisition or invest in developing employees' knowledge for different types of innovations. The findings from a survey of 335 Danish firms reveal that the organization should invest in employees with domain-specific absorptive capacity for new product development, while hiring employees with more general knowledge for product-related service innovations. Flexible work arrangements are beneficial for performance in any type of innovation, and this effect is enhanced by the firm's cross-functional capabilities.
