We study how firm behavior, capabilities, and structure drive absorptive capacity such as research and development (R&D) activities and expenditures, R&D results, internal organization of innovation, external relationships of innovation, human-capital quality, family management, business complexity, and market concentration. Our results enhance and complement previous evidence of the determinants of absorptive capacity, particularly with different approaches to innovative activities as mediators of the capability.2014http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6135810.1016/j.ibusrev.2013.06.006http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61358oai:zaguan.unizar.es:61358info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-09623International Business Review 23, 2 (2014), 429-439by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
