The role of relative absorptive capacity in improving suppliers' operational performance

Haithem Nagati, Claudia Rebolledo · 2012 · International Journal of Operations & Production Management

Summary. This study examines how suppliers' absorptive capacity affects their operational performance in customer-supplier relationships. Using data from 218 Canadian manufacturers, the researchers found that knowledge-sharing routines between customers and suppliers drive knowledge transfer, which then improves supplier performance. Surprisingly, overlapping knowledge bases did not significantly influence knowledge transfer, suggesting the mechanism works differently than expected.
