摘要

The term "technological capability" is frequently used in the literature to refer to a firm's or nation's technological development level. In addition, various other terms such as "production capability", "innovative capacity" and "absorptive capacity" are also employed for similar purposes. However, only a limited number of studies points to the importance of realizing the distinction between each of these terms and different types of capabilities. While "production capability" indicates the ability of a firm to produce its final products in a given quality and performance standards with a certain level of efficiency, developing "innovative capability" is one-step further, requires further commitments and special resources, knowledge, expertise, mechanisms and practices to be able to innovate; to produce new product designs and production process, or improve the existing ones. Absorptive capacity, on the other hand, differs from production capability and innovative capability by its emphasis on the ability to acquire external knowledge, to assimilate and utilize it in the internal structure of the firm, and to transform into the product or process innovations. The distinction between these terms is important since developing one of them does not automatically guarantee obtaining the other capabilities; each of different types of capacities and capabilities require unique approaches and mechanisms to be generated. Furthermore, to what extent a firm can benefit from the knowledge transfer in the collaborative interactions with other firms is heavily influenced by the levels of "absorptive", "production" and "innovative" capabilities. Firms having advanced level of production capability may not be able to innovate, or to exploit the value of knowledge transfer from its partners due to the lack of its absorptive capacity. In the first step of this research, the distinction between absorptive capacity, production and innovative capabilities of component supplier firms is explored through case studies of six component supplier firms in Turkish automotive industry. Next, how different levels and types of capabilities of component supplier firms affect the level of knowledge transfer from their main customers - in this case the car manufacturer firms - in their technological collaborations, is examined in the light of in-depth interviews. It is concluded that the higher the production capability the more competitive are the supplier firms, and able to have at least quantitatively more "business contacts" with more customer firms. However, once the business-relationships are established what determine the intensity of collaboration and knowledge exchange between supplier and assembler firms are the innovative and absorptive capacities.
