Resumen
This study examines the impact of a company’s unlearning context and information
system (IS) capabilities on the company’s ability to challenge of basic beliefs and to
implement processes that are explicitly or tacitly helpful in the reception of new ideas
(absorptive capacity). We also examine the relationship between absorptive capacity
and the existence and enhancement of innovativeness. These relationships are examined through an empirical investigation of 286 large Spanish companies. Our results show that absorptive capacity is an important dynamic determinant for developing a company’s innovativeness. Moreover, this relationship is best explained with two
related constructs. Firstly, the company’s unlearning context plays a key role in
managing the tension between potential absorptive capacity and realised absorptive
capacity. Secondly, the results also shed light on a tangible means for managers to
enhance their company’s innovativeness through IS capabilities.
