Abstract:

Recent literature in the strategic management field suggests that firms must learn to re-bundle internal competencies and resources in order to maintain competitive advantages over time. Utilizing the resource-based view of the firm and dynamic capabilities perspectives, this paper examines the roles that absorptive and transformative capacity play in organizational innovation, with specific emphasis placed on the role and effectiveness of knowledge management systems as a determinant of innovation practices.
