Searching for Potential and Realized Absorptive Capacity of the Firm: The Case of Japanese Joint Ventures in Indonesia
Year: 2012
Type: preprint
Abstract: This research investigates empirically the logic of absorptive capacity development: potential-realized-performance, proposed by Zahra and George (2002), of Japanese International Joint Ventures (IJV) in Indonesia. Localization policy, Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and role of codified knowledge as elements of potential absorptive capacity are positively associated with development of realized absorptive capacity, although contingent upon performance of production engineers and foremen. In addition, Performance of Engineers and Foremen has been found to be positive and statistically significant in increasing Japanese IJV performance when it interacts with overseas market orientation and low price strategy.
