Absorptive and desorptive capacity‐related practices at the network level – the case of<scp>SEMATECH</scp>

Gordon Müller‐Seitz · 2011 · R and D Management

Summary. This paper examines how interorganizational networks absorb and use external knowledge, moving beyond traditional firm-level analysis. Using SEMATECH, a global semiconductor manufacturing consortium, the author identifies three key practices—congregating, roadmapping, and offering access—that enable networks to collectively acquire, integrate, and leverage knowledge from outside sources while coordinating internal knowledge activities.
