Resumo(s)
Purpose – This study aims to contribute to fill the gap in the existing absorptive capacity (AC) literature
relating to how organizational mechanisms applied both at the national and international level affect a firm’s AC.
Design/methodology/approach – A systematic literature review was carried out using analytical
articles from two sources – Web of Science and Scopus – aiming to cover as many studies related to the AC
research topic.
Findings – The results show that the majority of the studies do not include a specific analysis of an
organizational mechanism’s role as mediator or moderator of a firm’s AC. The analysis of the reverse
knowledge set of mechanisms will provide for international business scholars and practitioners a compilation
of specific strategies that MNC apply to improve AC.
Originality/value – The study identifies four sets of organizational mechanisms: external search strategy;
organizational knowledge management; reverse knowledge; and mechanisms not orientated to knowledge
management; and it describes their specific relationships with AC.
