Resumo: Purpose: To verify the contribution of the Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) to the diffusion of innovation in New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) and startups in the Brazilian Federal District. Method: In-depth interviews study with 20 innovative firms, 12 (twelve) startups and 8 (eight) NTBFs. The results are discussed in two items of analysis: Analysis of the profile of the firms and the Analysis of the Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and of the content, in a comparative perspective around 14 thematic categories. Findings: The development factors associated with the Potential of Absorptive Capacity (PACAP) were observed as the antecedents of the diffusion of innovation. On the other hand, factors related to the Realized Absorptive Capacity (RACAP) are involved directly in the diffusion of innovation, with emphasis on the ability to generate innovation results through channels of market introduction, adoption of new technologies and financial investments. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study contributes to the theoretical field, still lacking in production, especially regionally, on the relationship between the constructs investigated in the context of innovative firms. Supporting programs, can gain insights to improve the advanced support that facilitates access to knowledge to be adopted and conversion into innovation. Relevance/originality: The research extends the understanding of the relationship between ACAP and the diffusion of innovation, involving the absorption of knowledge and the dynamics of these constructs through the integration of critical factors in specific contexts still little investigated, such as in NTBFs and startups involving regional innovation ecosystems. Management/Social Contributions: The empirical investigation and factors addressed provide managerial implications for the practices of these firms when developing innovations, as well as for planning, developing or strengthening innovation programs and policies.

Método: Estudio de entrevistas en profundidad con 20 emprendimientos innovadores, 12 startups y ocho NEBTs. Los resultados discuten dos ítems de análisis: Análisis del perfil de las empresas y el Análisis de Clasificación Jerárquica Descendente (CHD) y contenido, en una perspectiva comparada sobre 14 categorías temáticas. Resultados: Se observó que los factores de desarrollo de la Potencial de Capacidad de Absorción (PACAP) actúan como antecedentes de la difusión de la innovación. Los factores relacionados con la capacidad de absorción realizada (RACAP) están involucrado directamente en la difusión de la innovación, con énfasis en la capacidad de generar resultados de innovación a través de canales de introducción al mercado, adopción de nuevas tecnologías e inversiones financieras. Aportes teóricos/metodológicos: El estudio contribuye al campo teórico, aún carente en la producción especialmente regional, sobre la relación entre los constructos investigados en el contexto de emprendimientos innovadores. Los mecanismos de apoyo pueden obtener insights para mejorar el apoyo ofrecido que faciliten el acceso al conocimiento a ser absorbido para su conversión en innovaciones. Relevancia/originalidad: La investigación amplía la comprensión de la relación entre ACAP y la difusión de la innovación, involucrando la absorción de conocimiento y la dinámica de estos constructos a través de la integración de factores críticos en contextos específicos aún poco investigados, como en NEBTs y startups en los ecosistemas regionales de innovación. Contribuciones gerenciales/sociales: la investigación empírica y los factores abordados ofrecen implicaciones gerenciales para las prácticas de las propias empresas al desarrollar innovaciones, así como para planificar, desarrollar o fortalecer entornos y políticas de apoyo.Objetivo: Verificar a contribuição da Capacidade Absortiva (ACAP) para a difusão da inovação em Novas Empresas de Base Tecnológica (NEBTs) e startups estabelecidas no Distrito Federal brasileiro. Método: Estudo de entrevistas em profundidade com 20 empreendimentos inovadores, 12 (doze) startups e 8 (oito) NEBTs. Os resultados discutem dois itens de análise: Análise do perfil dos empreendimentos e a Análise da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD) e de conteúdo, em uma perspectiva comparativa acerca de 14 categorias temáticas. Resultados: Observou-se que fatores de desenvolvimento do Potencial da Capacidade Absortiva (PACAP) atuam como antecedentes da difusão da inovação. Já os fatores relacionados à Capacidade Absortiva Realizada (RACAP) estão envolvidos diretamente com a difusão da inovação, com destaque para a capacidade de gerar resultados de inovação por meio de canais de introdução mercadológica, adoção de novas tecnologias e investimentos financeiros. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O estudo contribui para o campo teórico, ainda carente de produção especialmente regional, sobre a relação entre os construtos investigados no contexto de empreendimentos inovadores. Mecanismos de apoio, podem obter insights para aprimorarem o suporte oferecido que facilitem o acesso ao conhecimento a ser absorvido para sua conversão em inovações. Relevância/originalidade: A pesquisa amplia a compreensão da relação entre a ACAP e a difusão da inovação, envolvendo a absorção de conhecimento e a dinâmica destes construtos por meio de fatores críticos em contextos específicos ainda pouco investigados, como nas NEBTs e startups envolvendo ecossistemas regionais de inovação. Contribuições gerenciais/sociais: A investigação empírica e fatores abordados fornecem possíveis implicações gerenciais para práticas dos próprios empreendimentos ao desenvolverem inovações, bem como para o planejamento, desenvolvimento ou para o fortalecimento de ambientes e políticas de apoio.ANEGEPE - Associação Nacional de Estudos em Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas2023-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/article/view/223810.14211/regepe.esbj.e2238REGEPE Entrepreneurship and Small Business Journal; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2023): Jan./Apr.
