Absorptive capacity is a dynamic capability that may generate knowledge and innovations. In Brazil, the development of new products and processes have led to technological advances in farming, especially in the last decades. In this context, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) has played an important role in the absorption and generation of agricultural knowledge and innovations from research and project development (R&D). Therefore, absorptive capacity (AC) is a construct involving knowledge absorption with procedural propositions that need empirical verification. In this study, we investigated how the maturity of absorptive capacity can be achieved in a public research company. We studied three R&D Embrapa projects that involved intraorganizational and interorganizational alliances that resulted in important innovations. We identified and systematized routines and organizational processes of acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and exploration of knowledge. This study contributed to the development of a propositional maturity model of absorptive capacity in a public research company that promotes scalability of routines and knowledge absorption processes at intraorganizational and interorganizational levels.

Objective: The main objective of this article is to identify the attitudinal antecedents of dynamic capacities. For this, the method of grounded theory was used. Design/methodology/approach: The data collection strategies used were oral history interviews of thematic life, and in-depth interviews. The method of constant comparisons and the processes of open, axial, and selective coding were also used. Results: Based on the substantive theory that emerged from the research field, it was concluded that individual capacities underpin the intrapreneurial attitudes of managers of innovation projects. These capacities are associated with the organizational capacities of perception (self-knowledge, autonomy, emotional evaluation, detail, and initiative), apprehension (positive perspective, abstraction, critical analysis, emotional control, creativity, satisfaction with learning, and strategic vision), and reconfiguration (argumentation, self-confidence, communication, discipline, empathy, active listening, flexibility, dealing with pressure, resistance to frustrations, and systemic vision). This aggregated analysis revealed emerging cognitive and emotional elements that differed from the routine aspects of project management, underpinning the intrapreneurial attitude of the managers participating in this study. Originality/value: The main contribution of this study is the identification of individual capacities and collective behaviors that act as attitudinal triggers for the organizational capacities of perception, apprehension, and reconfiguration of pro-innovation resources. Potentially, this contribution can be used by innovation project managers when conducting recruitment/selection and training processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The concept of social innovation as open, collaborative and social transformation process opens room to reinforce the need of legitimizing social impact businesses and of expanding partnerships for social change, as well as the urgency of establishing professional and more sustainable social innovation environments. Accordingly, we tried to answer the following research question: How can social business performance boost the development of social innovations? Design/methodology/approach: Therefore, we adopted the inductive approach of qualitative paradigm, based on the Grounded Theory, to investigate 24 social businesses. In addition, we adopted the Atlas.ti software for data organization and recovery. Aggregate results allowed us to propose a descriptive model of sustainable performance for the development of social innovations in social business, based on the following propositions: sustainable performance in processes and social innovation, the prevalence of a cooperative environment to solve social issues, professional governance as causal factor to social innovation development, the development of actions focused on public interests as influencing conditions for social innovation development, technical and scientific evaluation of social impacts as strategy to measure the outcomes of developed innovations and the expansion of social impacts as the consequence of the self-negotiation of social affairs. Originality/value: A descriptive model of sustainable acting was proposed for the development of social innovations in social businesses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Context: the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization has played an important role in research and development to generate innovations. Many of these innovations are generated through research and development alliances with external partners. This stimulates the potential for relationship capability, i.e., a strategic management construct of alliances with procedural proposals that have not yet been verified empirically. Objective: the general aim of the study was to explore how relationship capability processes can help to generate innovations. Methods: qualitative research was conducted using the case study method, based on interviews, document analysis and observation. Three strategic research and development alliances involving the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization and external partners constituted the analysis corpus. Results: the principal contribution to the advance of knowledge was an interorganizational model for generating innovations based on strategic research and development alliances, founded on the empirical evidence of the relationship capability processes of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Organization and its external partners. Conclusion: this new model provides greater clarity regarding how a public research company absorbs knowledge and unprecedented evidence of the processes of institutionalization and the overflow of relationship capability.
