title = {The role of absorptive capacity in the relationship between firm internationalization and innovation: evidence from Russia},
year = {2018},
note = {The various advantages firms may obtain from their international
activities have been a topical issue in the management literature in
the last few decades. Scholars report a positive influence of export
on various performance outcomes such as productivity, efficiency or
innovativeness. However, it is likely that different contexts will
entail differences in the innovation outputs stemming from the
international activity. This study aims to reveal the role of the
absorptive capacity in the relation between internationalization and
innovation in the context of Russia. We argue that the relationship
between internationalization and innovation outputs is not always
straightforward and that the firm’s absorptive capacity can enhance
its innovative capacity through internationalization. By means of a
survey, we collected 135 questionnaires and tested our hypotheses on
this sample by using a SEM (structural equitation modeling) method.},
