abstract = {Drawing on a dynamic capabilities perspective and a resource-based view, this article
analyzes the relationship between absorptive capacity and corporate entrepreneurship, and their
combined effect on organizations’ performance. It contributes to the literature by dissociating
the dimensions of absorptive capacity (potential and realized) and corporate entrepreneurship
(innovativeness, proactiveness, new business venturing, and self-renewal). A quantitative study
was performed with data gathered by personal interviews, using a structured questionnaire.
The theoretical model was estimated through a structural equation model, using a sample of
168 Spanish firms. The results show that proactiveness positively influences innovativeness and that
both proactiveness and innovativeness have a positive influence on potential and realized absorptive
capacity. A significant positive relationship also exists between potential and realized absorptive
capacity. Furthermore, realized absorptive capacity positively influences new business venturing and
self-renewal. Finally, proactiveness and new business venturing directly and positively influence
organizational performance, but not innovativeness and self-renewal. The study demonstrates that
entrepreneurs must be able to enhance potential and realize absorptive capacities at the same time in
order to improve the end performance of their corporate entrepreneurial projects. Both absorptive
capacities are strongly related to corporate entrepreneurial activities and have a strong influence on
firms’ performance.},
