RESUMO

O objetivo do artigo é apresentar a evolução da pesquisa da teoria da capacidade absortiva e analisar pressupostos teóricos contributivos da integração desta teoria com outras teorias organizacionais, resultando na estruturação de gaps observados na literatura nacional e internacional. Teoricamente foram identificados seis pressupostos teóricos principais relacionados a diferentes teorias organizacionais com a capacidade absortiva, a saber: Aprendizagem Organizacional; Redes; Alianças Estratégicas; Capital Intelectual; Performance; e Ambiente Organizacional. Metodologicamente, foram identificados nove artigos nacionais e aproximadamente 1500 artigos internacionais de grande impacto da publicação mundial, dos quais foram selecionados os 30 artigos com mais citações da Web of Sience e classificados como representativos de pesquisas internacionais.  Os resultados demonstram um forte relacionamento da capacidade absortiva com as teorias da aprendizagem organizacional e da teoria de redes, em que o uso do método quantitativo é identificado em grande parte dos estudos.

Palavras-chave: Capacidade Absortiva. Estudo Organizacional. Conhecimento. Aprendizagem.

 

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to present the development of research of the theory of absorptive capacity and to analyze the main theoretical contributory of integration about this theory and another organizational theories, that resulting in gaps observed in national and international literature. Theoretically, we identified six main theoretical assumptions related in different organizational theories with the absorptive capacity: Organizational Learning; Networks; Strategic Alliances; Intellectual Capital; Performance and Organizational Environment. Methodologically, we identified nine nacional articles and approximately 1500 international articles of big impact of the global publishing. We have been chosen 30 articles with more citations in Web of Science and classified as representative of international research. The results demonstrate that a strong relationship with the absorptive capacity theories with organizational learning and network theory, and the use of the quantitative method is identified in most studies.

Keywords: Absorptive Capacity. Organizational Study. Knowledge. Learning.
