Absorptive capacity and knowledge management in small and medium enterprises

Roberto Grandinetti · 2016 · Knowledge Management Research & Practice

Summary. Small and medium enterprises need to access external knowledge through relationships, but research has not adequately examined how these relationships support knowledge management. This paper develops a framework using absorptive capacity to explain how SMEs manage external knowledge. It applies this framework to understand how new ventures build capabilities during startup and how knowledge flows within geographical clusters.
