Construction d'une échelle de mesure de la capacité d'absorption

L’importance de la capacite d’absorption ne cesse de croitre depuis le premier article de Cohen et Levinthal (1990). Cependant, ce concept assez largement etudie d’un point de vue theorique, n’a pas fait l’objet d’une operationnalisation. Apres une analyse en profondeur de ce concept, le but de cet article est de creer une echelle de mesure, basee sur les quatre dimensions mises en avant par Zahra et George (2002): acquisition, assimilation, transformation et exploitation.
