Analyzing an absorptive capacity : unlearning context and information system capabilities as catalysts for innovativeness

This study examines the impact of a company’s unlearning context and information system (IS) capabilities on the company’s ability to challenge of basic beliefs and to implement processes that are explicitly or tacitly helpful in the reception of new ideas (absorptive capacity). We also examine the...
