Impact of absorptive capacity on project success through mediating role of strategic agility: Project complexity as a moderator

Mário Nuno Mata, José Moleiro Martins, Pedro Leite Inácio · 2023 · Journal of Innovation & Knowledge

Summary. This study examines how absorptive capacity—the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge—influences project success in Portuguese IT companies. The research finds that both potential and realized absorptive capacity directly improve project outcomes and also work indirectly through strategic agility. Project complexity strengthens the link between potential absorptive capacity and strategic agility but does not affect the realized absorptive capacity relationship.
