Resumen

Este estudio analiza la evolución de las publicaciones científicas sobre Capacidad Absortiva (Absorptive Capacity – ACAP) entre 1976-2020 para la construcción de un panorama de investigación. Se trata de un estudio bibliométrico de análisis de cocitación mediante análisis de conglomerados, que se realizó mediante el software VOSviewer. Los resultados muestran la aplicación de la capacidad absortiva para explicar los fenómenos organizacionales y revisaron la literatura para identificar sus dimensiones de logro: adquisición, asimilación, transformación y aplicación. Existen vínculos entre la capacidad de absorción y la innovación, como la inversión en proyectos de Investigación y Desarrollo (I + D) como práctica relevante para la promoción del ACAP, estimulando la adquisición, asimilación, transformación y explotación del conocimiento externo en las organizaciones.
