Short- and Long-Term Performance Feedback and Absorptive Capacity

Chanan Ben-Oz, Henrich R. Greve · 2012 · Journal of Management

Summary. Organizations learn differently from performance feedback depending on their time horizons. This study of 129 Israeli high-tech startups shows that short-term performance gaps drive immediate absorptive capacity improvements, while long-term performance gaps drive strategic capability building. Performance relative to aspiration levels influences both short-term tactical actions and long-term strategic decisions, contradicting the view that organizations focus only on immediate goals.
