The effect of organizational structure on absorptive capacity in single and dual learning modes

Murad Ali, İmran Ali, Khalid A. Al-Maimani, Kichan Park · 2017 · Journal of Innovation & Knowledge

Summary. This paper examines how organizational structure influences absorptive capacity—an organization's ability to acquire and use new knowledge—in both single and dual learning modes. Through literature review, the authors identify structural design characteristics that enhance absorptive capacity and propose contingency models linking organizational structure to knowledge absorption across initiation and implementation stages. The work advances theory by treating absorptive capacity as an independent variable and focusing on behavioral dimensions.
