Managers realize that learning from past experiences in R&D projects develops the capacity to gain access to relevant external knowledge. However, the positive relationship between management practices and absorptive capacity is only significant for transforming and exploiting external knowledge in R&D projects. The article discusses the managerial implications of improving absorptive capacity within the management of R&D projects and the firm, for every AC dimension. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.885 2015 MANAGEMENT 29 / 192 = 0.151 2015 Q1 T1 1.439 2015 Business and International Management 2015 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2015 Q1 Management of Technology and Innovation 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-6602-8901 Martínez-Sánchez, Angel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3934-5359 Berges-Muro, Luis Universidad de Zaragoza 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
