    abstract = {The issue of absorptive capacity as a strategic
and dynamic capability has been thoroughly investigated
so far and the existing literature presents valuable
outcomes concerning this construct, however, it still
warrants further research-wise consideration as it a
complex organizational phenomenon. Among the many
determining variables that deserve further study are
activation triggers as a contingent factor that moderate the
impact of knowledge source on absorptive capacity. This
study was, therefore, an attempt to re-read and review the
existing literature about activation triggers to provide the
model and the status of absorptive capacity. To this end,
rather than the antecedents and consequences of this
phenomenon, when and which events basically trigger
absorptive capacity were undertaken in this study.}
