Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers are critical for domestic firms’ growth. Extant econometric research focuses on spillover sources and explores whether FDI presence can increase the domestic firm’s productivity. In contrast, adopting a spillover-absorber perspective, we conduct a qualitative study of a Chinese hotel’s absorption of spillovers over a 16-year period. Our findings delineate how a domestic firm executes constituent activities of absorptive capacity (AC) to utilize spillovers, and how organizational antecedents (organizational commitments and organizational culture) at the strategic level, and complementary capabilities (socialization capabilities and systems capabilities) at the operational level, enhance its potential and realized AC, respectively.
