This research evaluates the relationship between tangible resources and companies´ potential absorptive capabilities using data of 2,093 Colombian industrial firms through econometric models that allowed us to contrast linear regressions and Logit models. The results suggest that financial and human resource characteristics of firms, positively influence their ability to acquire and assimilate knowledge derived from the environment. Likewise, firm´s ability to cooperate and interact with their ecosystem has a positive influence on their potential absorptive capability.
