Abstract
Este trabalho consiste em revisar e sistematizar a literatura relativa à Capacidade Absortiva (ACAP) para inovação em novas empresas de base tecnológica (NEBTs) e startups. Adicio-nalmente, o estudo identifica temas, abordagens teóricas e fatores de desenvolvimento da ACAP para inovação nestes empreendimentos, promovendo um panorama deste fenômeno. A pesquisa analisa 103 artigos selecionados nas bases de periódicos Emerald, Science Direct, Ebsco (Academic Search Premier), Web of Science, Scopus e Springerlink. Identificou-se a tendência para pesquisas empíricas baseadas em métodos quantitativos com utilização de surveys e técnicas de análise fundamentadas em estatística inferencial. As quatro categorias mais investigadas dizem respeito à relação entre a ACAP e redes, antecedentes e potencial de realização, exploração de fatores/recursos internos ou externos, e estratégias de inovação. Os resultados ainda possibilitaram a proposição de lacunas e direcionamentos como contribuição para futuras agendas.
This study consists of reviewing and systematizing the literature on Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) for innovation in new technology-based firms (NEBTs) and startups. In addition, the study identifies themes, theoretical approaches and factors for ACAP and innovation development into these ventures; providing an overview of this phenomenon. The research analyzes 103 articles selected from databases such as Emerald, Science Direct, Ebsco (Academic Search Premier), Web of Science, Scopus and Springerlink. Most of studies identified relates to empirical research based on quantitative methods; using surveys and analysis techniques based on inferential statistics. The four prominent categories concern to the relationship between ACAP and networks, antecedents and potential of ACAP, exploration of internal or external factors/resources, and innovation strategies. The results also enable the proposition of gaps and directions as a contribution to future agendas.
