 Impact of ICT adoption on absorptive capacity and open innovation for greater firm performance. The mediating role of ACAPHéctor Cuevas-Vargas, Joao Aguirre and Neftalí Parga-Montoya Journal of Business Research, 2022, vol. 140, issue C, 11-24 Abstract: The purpose of this research aims to empirically examine the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption on absorptive capacity (ACAP) and open innovation (OI) for a greater business performance and determine whether ACAP has a mediating role in the relation between ICT adoption and OI. A quantitative approach and cross-sectional design through the Structural Equation Modeling was applied. A simple random sampling technique and a self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data from 145 small firms in Bogota, Colombia. The outcomes indicate that ICT adoption has a significant impact on ACAP and OI. Furthermore, the evidence reveals that ACAP has a significant influence on OI. Moreover, ACAP demonstrated to play a significant partial mediating effect in the relationship between ICT adoption and OI, indicating the ability of ICT adoption to strengthen OI via ACAP. Furthermore, the results indicate that OI has a significant impact on firm performance.
