Bridging Knowledge Management and Capabilities in Innovative Projects: An Integrative Framework

Abstract

The application of dynamic capabilities and absorptive capacity in innovative projects can use the knowledge processed by knowledge management as a strategic resource. Thus, this article aims to investigate how the cross-fertilization among dynamic capabilities, absorptive capacity, and knowledge management can benefit the development of innovative projects. The research approach is a literature review. We identified core codes and their relationships. We propose an integrative framework, detailing three propositions. It also presents unsolved questions and new trends for future research agendas. The results can provide valuable contributions for project managers, pointing out how project capabilities can enhance innovative projects.
