Innovation and new knowledge within organizations are essential to stimulate their performance. This study analyzes the degree of influence of identification, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation of external knowledge (absorptive capacity) on product and process innovation in an organization (innovative performance), considering organizational characteristics such as the age of managers, the business sector, and the size of the organization. To this purpose, the study uses multigroup analysis in partial least squares structural equation models on a database of 373 industrial and commercial companies from the Colombian Caribbean coast. Results reveal significant effects between absorptive capacity and innovative performance, thus highlighting the crucial role that age of managers, sector, and size of the organization play on these relationships.
