Abstract: Absorptive capacity has played a distinctive constructive role in fostering innovation in organisational research in recent decades. Enhancing absorptive capacity is essential to ensure a firms long-term competitiveness. The foundation of absorptive capacity relies greatly on prior related knowledge and diversity of background concerning an aggregated system that can explain how the entire mechanism works. Regarding more direct efforts to explore systematically the interdependence between existing construct variables and others new constructs to label the capabilities of a firm to enhance this capability, the outcomes remain surprisingly rare. Till date, researchers' understanding of the key macro–micro (organisation-individual) linkage of acquiring, assimilating, transforming, and exploiting development has not been examined comprehensively. Thus, the premise of this research is to propose a "macro–micro dynamic integrative design" that will shift the learning landscape of absorptive capacity that internally can drive more effective learning and capability development.
