Abstract

La capacidad de absorción entendida como la apropiación de conocimiento externo para mejorar la innovación de las empresas cuando los determinantes internos son favorables, ha cobrado interés en la última década a nivel mundial. El objetivo de la investigación cuantitativa no experimental, transversal, correlacional-causal es evaluar la relación existente entre la capacidad de absorción potencial del conocimiento externo en sus dos dimensiones: adquirida y asimilada, con el capital humano, que es un determinante que la empresa posee. Llegando a la conclusión de que existe una relación positiva y significativa entre el determinante interno capital humano y la capacidad de absorción potencial.
