O impacto da capacidade inventiva, capacidade de dessorção e capacidade de absorção sobre a performance de projeto

The study of Open Innovation (OI) can be divided into two main flows, called inbound and outbound of knowledge, and an imbalance between the two themes is perceived in the literature, with a small number of publications that deal with the outbound flow. The flow of knowledge output can be studied from two organizational capacities, called inventive capacity and desorption. These two capabilities are intended to reach the external customer, the first being based on new knowledge, and the second based on knowledge already consolidated by the organization. In this context, this paper aims to analyze the impacts of the inventive and desorption capabilities of the output OI in relation to the technical and market performance of the project, and also to verify the moderating role that the Absorption Capacity (ACAP) imposes on this relationship. This study is carried out in the automotive sector, with the participation of 126 projects from different companies and uses the PLS-SEM method to analyze the research model. The results indicate that while the desorption capacity acts positively both on the technical and market performance, the inventive capacity presents a positive relationship only with the market performance, showing itself negative in relation to the technical development of the project. The results also show that ACAP moderates the positive interactions between output AI and design performance.
