Knowledge infrastructure capability, absorptive capacity and inbound open innovation: evidence from SMEs in France

Sajjad M. Jasimuddin, M. Muzamil Naqshbandi · 2019 · Production Planning & Control

Summary. French SMEs with stronger knowledge infrastructure capabilities—spanning technology, structure, and culture—absorb external knowledge more effectively and implement open innovation more successfully. Absorptive capacity partially mediates this relationship. The study validates a measurement instrument for knowledge infrastructure capability and demonstrates its direct positive impact on both absorptive capacity and inbound open innovation performance in small and medium enterprises.
