Dimensão Organizacional da Capacidade de Absorção: uma análise para empresas que interagiram com universidades no Brasil

Organizational Dimension of Absorptive Capacity: an analysis for firms that interacted with universities in Brazil

Artigo completo:

O presente artigo analisa como algumas empresas que interagiram com universidades no Brasil combinam diferentes processos e características organizacionais para desenvolver suas Capacidades Absortivas (CAs). Para isso, são combinadas as técnicas de Análise de Componentes Principais Categóricos (CatPCA) e Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) para analisar dados de um survey específico ao objetivo. Encontra-se que, diferentes CAs, associadas a distintas estratégias, exigem diferentes “configurações organizacionais” para serem construídas. CAs voltadas à ampliação da base de conhecimento, sem uma aplicação específica, dependem da combinação entre fortes relações pessoais intraempresa e externas a ela. Quando as CAs são voltadas para adaptar tecnologias existentes, essas relações pessoais devem ser combinadas com práticas gerenciais pró participação da mão-de-obra em projetos inovativos estratégicos. Por fim, se as CAs são construídas para alcançar resultados com apropriabilidade mais específica, essas práticas e relações internas são combinadas com uma elevada hierarquia interna que direciona o processo.

This article analyzes how some firms that interacted with universities in Brazil combine different organizational processes and characteristics to develop their Absorptive Capacities (ACs). For that, the techniques of Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CatPCA) and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) are combined to analyze data from a survey specific to this objective. It is found that different ACs, associated with different strategies, require different “organizational configurations” to be developed. If ACs are developed to expand the knowledge base, without a specific application, they depend on the combination of strong personal relationships within and outside the firm. When ACs are focused on adapting existing technologies, these personal relationships must be combined with managerial practices for the participation of workforce in strategic innovative projects. Finally, if ACs are built to achieve results with a specific appropriability, these internal practices and relationships are combined with a high internal hierarchy that guides the process.
