Abstract

The paper studies an important issue of absorptive capacity that enables the companies to strengthen their position in the competitive global market. The concept of absorptive capacity in open innovation paradigm is defined within the following organizational theories: learning, innovation and managerial cognition. The model which links together and clarifies in a detailed way the relationships between absorptive capacity and the components is proposed.  

Keywords: absorptive capacity, open innovation, learning, managerial cognition, knowledge transfer
