Abstract

As innovation endeavours shift from organization to team-specific, absorptive capacity (ACAP) offers a framework for understanding how teams internalize and utilize external knowledge to drive radical and incremental innovation. This thesis redefines knowledge assimilation within ACAP, examining its multidimensional nature in innovation and the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and team functional diversity (TFD). Three interrelated papers explore assimilation’s components, AI’s moderating role, and TFD’s impact on ACAP pathways. The findings refine ACAP theory, emphasizing assimilation’s unique roles and practical strategies for leveraging AI, optimizing team dynamics, and fostering innovation in technology-driven environments.
