....in the technical ability of the labor population. While Mexico was still fighting literacy in the seventies and eighties, Taiwan was already developing a sound technological infrastructure. Research and development indicators are usually a good indicator of differences in absorptive ability [45]. By 1995, aggregate R D expenditures in Taiwan had reached 1.8 of GDP, while in Mexico they accounted only for 0.31 of GDP. A similar situation happens at the level of human resources, where Taiwan has 2.1 researchers per thousand people against 0.6 in Mexico [46, 47] While the previous ....

.... mechanisms underlying the development of organizational competence has a long history and varied origins, ranging from production theory (Yelle, 1979; Deming, 1982; Dutton Thomas, 1984; Epple, Argote Devadas, 1991) to the study of technological innovation (Nelson Winter, 1982; Dosi, 1982; Cohen Levinthal, 1990; Clark Fujimoto, 1991; Von Hippel Tyre, 1995) from cognitive psychology (Cormier Hagman, 1987; Healy Bourne, 1995) to organizational sociology (March Simon, 1958; Cyert March, 1963; Levitt March, 1988; March, 1991) to, lately, strategic management (Levinthal March, 1993; ....

However, ....

....production methods so that one should expect a positive correlation between productivity and foreign presence when local firms are able to capture the technological externalities related to FDI in high R D activities. This is directly related to the notion of absorptive capacity 2 developed by Cohen and Levinthal (1990) who consider absorptive capacity as a byproduct of a firm R D investment 1 . Here we consider this element in an explicit way using data on R D both at the firm and branch level. Second, we also consider international trade activities in order to take account of the fact that international ....

.... most directly articulates the specific link between learning and innovation diffusion, concepts from organizational learning are increasingly being used as a lens for examining questions related to the management of technology and innovation in general (Leonard Barton 1989; Argote et al. 1990; Cohen and Levinthal 1990). For a general review of the organizational learning literature, see Huber 1991) 4 substantial costs of experiential learning required to reach the point on the learning curve where performance is comparable to pre existing technologies (Kemerer 1992) What kinds of organizations should ....
....to become available) 4.2 Related Knowledge Related knowledge is the extent of abstract knowledge, know how and skills possessed by the organization in areas related to the focal innovation. Related knowledge facilitates assimilation by making it easier for organizations to acquire new knowledge (Cohen and Levinthal 1990), and by decreasing the total quantity of knowledge that must be acquired (Pennings and Harianto 1992) It seems appropriate to consider what is encompassed by related knowledge in the case of SPIs. As previously mentioned, successful assimilation of an SPI requires that an organization reach the ....

....that already have well developed capabilities may be unwilling to participate in the regional institution for fear of eroding their competitive advantage. At the same time, firms that are far behind in terms of the sophistication of their capabilities may completely lack the absorptive capacity (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990) that would enable them to graft capabilities into their organizations from the regional institution. This reasoning suggests an inverted U shaped relationship between participation in regional institutions and the level of competitive capabilities, a relationship we did in fact observe when we ....

....in the first place. A dynamic story has emerged in which the knowledge accumulated over the history of the firm and embedded in organizational routines and structures influences the firm s ability to correctly value new resources and capabilities [Teece Pisano, 1994; Dosi Marengo, 1994; Cohen Levinthal, 1990]. At any point in time, the decision to acquire particular resources or develop new capabilities is constrained by the firm s history. In other words, the evolution of a firm s resources and capabilities is a path dependent process. The importance of history has lead some to conclude that the ....
.... constituencies possessing unique knowledge [Dosi Marengo, 1994; Iansiti Clark, 1994; Henderson, 1994] Behavioral and cognitive theorists have long observed that the ability of an individual to assimilate new information is largely dependent on prior related knowledge [for a review, see Cohen Levinthal, 1990]. Prior knowledge is represented in cognitive structures which are used to interpret new information signals. The more divergent a signal is from current cognitive structures, the more difficult it is to understand. On the organizational level, the ability to process information has been ....
