The phrase "absorptive ability" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the capacity of a material or organism to absorb substances, such as nutrients or water.
Example: "The absorptive ability of the soil directly affects plant growth and health."
Alternatives: "absorption capacity" or "ability to absorb".
Foreign R&D activities by multinational enterprises in a host country significantly affect the innovation performance of domestic firms only when absorptive ability is taken into account.
In particular, it considers the remaining capacity (absorptive ability), the degree to which capability can be recovered (restoration ability) and the recovery speed.
Furthermore, successful implementation of HPWS is restricted by the absorptive ability of the organization.
The copper and zinc are, indeed, the active sites, which can absorb sulfur and convert into sulfide initially, but the presence of active carbon increases the surface area and enables more absorptive ability.
In the other experiment, similarly, Ling et al. [25] reported that seed treatment by cold plasma enhanced the germination rate even in drought stress conditions by increasing the absorptive ability attributed to seed imbibition.
Specifically, the absorptive ability takes the form of organizational learning, through which an organization captures, transfers and shares knowledge to improve its operation and optimizes the organizational structure in order to achieve long-term development (Hassan and Alhakim 2011; Sanzo et al. 2012).
Blohm et al. (2013) showed how firms can build the absorptive capacity – firms' ability to sense, value, assimilate, and apply new knowledge – to capture business value and to find possible ways to overcome challenges for implementing crowdsourcing.
Though not representative of all local partners, PEPFAR programs or countries, this application of the ClASS framework to assess local partners' absorptive capacity and ability to maintain delivery of a quality HIV/AIDS program led to many insights applicable to resource constrained settings as later explained.
Absorptive capacity means firms' ability to sense, value, assimilate, and apply new knowledge and desorptive capacity means a firm's capability of external knowledge exploitation (Lichtenthaler, 2007).
Absorptive capacity is the ability to find and recognize the potential value of new external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends.
Learning ability and absorptive capacity are enhanced through relationships (Cohen and Levinthal 1990), as knowledge is processed and moved through relationships (Podolny and Page 1988), and as new knowledge is created by collective learning from within the network (Allen 1983).
