ABSTRACT
The study of Absorptive Capacity (AB) in
organizations has been carried out for at least a quarter of a century by
national and international researchers. And since the mid-1990s, some research
has prioritized measuring a company's absorptive capacity. Therefore, the
objective of this research is to carry out comparisons of the results of
research in Latin America that use similar definitions and measures for
absorptive capacity. For this research, a bibliographic research has already
been carried out to understand a little more about the subject, and a
systematic review will be carried out and, finally, a comparative content
analysis will be carried out to verify studies that present similar instruments
for measuring the absorption capacity within each area. of knowledge. The tool
used for the research is and will be the Portal de Periódicos da Capes to
encompass a comprehensive research, and the Web Of Science and Scielo databases
to refine it. This study will contribute significantly to the literature, helping
future researchers to use a measurement instrument closer to the study in
question, based on an analysis carried out in similar studies that proposed and
validated instruments to measure absorptive capacity in Latin American
companies. America.
