In order to examine the selected variable, this paper offers a reconceptualization of the ACAP, taking into account the new dimension of the construct, and then it develops an empirical framework, individuating hypothesis and data. We construct a unique data set, combining qualitative and quantitative data, extracted from BvD AIDA.
Results from this study could offer SMEs several information to develop their ACAP. In particular, the partial micro-foundation of our analysis helps innovative SMEs to individuate factors that could be modified and\/or improved to raise their absorptive capacity and to increase their competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
