Abstract
The processes for absorbing knowledge become an essential element for innovation and competitiveness in enterprises. Despite the huge growth in the absorptive capacity literature, a method gap still remains about a certain ambiguity in the measurement of the construct specifying its theoretical domain. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the research on absorptive capacity through the construction of four aspects, based on a thorough analysis of the literature and field research, to measure the key components of the absorptive capacity construct: acquisition capacity, assimilation capacity, transformation capacity and application capacity. The evaluation model based on entropy weights and interval TOPSIS is established which focuses on measuring absorptive capacity. The practical case study is conducted to illustrate the application of the proposed method for the knowledge absorptive capacity and verify effectiveness and feasibility.
