Tangible resources, absorptive capability, knowledge transfer, cooperationAbstract
This research focuses on analysis of tangible resources and the dynamic capabilities of Colombian industrial companies according to Resource Based View Theory of the firm. It uses the database: EDIT Industry database, and empirically contrast a model by means of multiple linear regression. The results allow to conclude that financial resources have a positive influence on the absorption capacity of companies. Likewise, the dynamic capabilities of cooperation and of relationship of the firm with its environment have an influence on the absorptive capability of firms.Downloads
