Abstract

Since the industrial sector is one of the most important for the Santander department, 45 companies that belong to it in Bucaramanga were analyzed by this study. This research took into account two of the dimensions of the dynamic capacity of absorption of knowledge while implementing the method simple linear regression and following the ordinary least squares statistical scheme. The exploitation dimension is taken as the dependent variable and the transformation dimension is taken as the independent variable. There is a 95% confidence level that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variables with a Beta value of 1.027 in an adjusted model capable of explaining a 51.60% the movements of the dependent variable. There is a 95% confidence level that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variables with a Beta value of 1.027 in an adjusted model capable of explaining a 51.6% the movements of the dependent variable. Moreover, the cyclical characteristic of the dimensions is also exposed, that according to the theory, postulates the need for the existence of the transformation dimension for the existence of the exploitation dimension.
