Capacidade de absorção. Inovação. Bibliometria. Análise de cocitação. Pareamento bibliográfico.Resumo
Objetivo do estudo: Este estudo visa analisar a produção científica sobre capacidade absortiva e inovação para identificar as tendências dos estudos e as bases teóricas em que se baseiam.
Metodologia / Abordagem: Realizamos as análises de pareamento, cocitação e redes por meio de uma amostra de 3.698 artigos, considerando 2.778 artigos da Web of Science e 920 artigos da Scopus.
Originalidade / Relevância: Em uma pesquisa preliminar, foram identificados apenas dois trabalhos bibliométricos com foco em capacidade absortiva e inovação. No entanto, mais de 1.500 artigos foram publicados com novas perspectivas, avançando os estudos sobre o tema após 2015.
Principais resultados: A análise de pareamento resultou em seis fatores que mostram as tendências de estudos futuros. A análise de cocitação apresentou três fatores representativos da estrutura intelectual decorrente da análise de pareamento. A análise de redes proporcionou uma visão sobre como esses estudos se conectam. Os resultados apontam para tendências em estudos futuros que podem preencher as lacunas de pesquisas sobre capacidade absortiva e inovação. Além disso, também indicamos as frentes teóricas que podem ser utilizadas para explorar essas tendências. Ao final, apresentamos um modelo que sintetiza nossas descobertas e mostra como elas podem contribuir para o avanço da pesquisa a partir do modelo seminal de Zahra e George (2002).
Contribuições teórico-metodológicas: Apresentamos um mapeamento do tema que permite uma visão mais clara de quais obras seminais são utilizadas para abordar cada tema a ser explorado em estudos futuros, associando os resultados das técnicas bibliométricas utilizadas.
