Capacidad dinámica de absorción. Estudio de caso
Dynamic absorption capacity. Case studies
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación realizada sobre capacidades dinámicas de absorción, para la cual, teniendo en cuenta los aspectos que más se destacan y en los cuales están de acuerdo la mayoría de los autores consultados y con base en el análisis de contenido, se propone la definición de capacidad dinámica de absorción que guío esta investigación, se plantea un modelo de capacidad dinámica de absorción que se justifica teóricamente en sus factores determinantes, y mediante el estudio de casos como herramienta metodológica exploratoria, se buscó como objetivo conseguir un acercamiento entre las teorías analizadas en la revisión de literatura y la realidad objeto de estudio, para indagar sobre un fenómeno contemporáneo en su entorno real, estableciendo una cadena de evidencia, resultado de la transcripción de la entrevista semi-estructurada, identificando un patrón de comportamiento común y buscando crear una explicación de los resultados del estudio de caso realizado a tres empresas, encontrando como hallazgos que la capacidad dinámica de absorción en las organizaciones, es muy disímil, son específicas de cada empresa, las empresas con alto nivel de capacidades dinámicas de absorción tienden a ser proactivas, explotan las oportunidades presentes en el ambiente, buscan oportunidades para desarrollar sus capacidades tecnológicas y de innovación, son capaces de beneficiarse en mayor medida del conocimiento externo, valoran qué información puede ser útil, cómo compartirla rápidamente por toda la organización y cómo utilizarla con propósitos comerciales para mejorar sus metas estratégicas.
