Abstract
ABSTRACT Drawing upon the resource-based view (RBV) theory, the present study examined the mediating role of absorptive capacity on the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance. A time lagged survey-based quantitative study was carried out for which the questionnaire was adopted from different published sources. With a total of 347 responses, the data was analysed using SmartPLS-3. The findings of the study supported all the hypotheses. The direct corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance relationship sought empirical support. Accordingly, absorptive capacity resulted as a significant contributor towards firm performance. Notably, it also mediated the corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance association. The paper underlines the novel idea of mediating role of absorptive capacity (ACAP) on the corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance relationship. In doing so, this paper explains how information plays a critical role in enabling a culture and performance factor of an organisation.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
