Absorptive capacity and small family firm performance: exploring the mediation processes

Sanjay Chaudhary, Safal Batra · 2018 · Journal of Knowledge Management

The study shows this works indirectly: absorptive capacity enables firms to adopt entrepreneurial, market, and technology orientations, which then drive better performance. Strategic orientation acts as the mechanism linking knowledge investment to business results.
