ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY – THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Responsibility (CR) only makes sense if it creates sustainable societal value at the same time as it is a driver of financial value.

Sponsored by AstraZeneca, Enact’s X-factor report looks at the success factors for each of three case studies which represent CR success stories. In addition, the report asserts that the X-factor, or the overarching ability to create a successful CR effort, is a set of interlocking capabilities called absorptive capacity. Managers wanting to take steps toward assessing, developing and integrating absorptive capacity will take note of the practical approach developed in this report.
