The research in this thesis provides an understanding of the growth of the firm from the coevolution
of its learning and technological trajectory by focusing on the micro components of
learning and the process of capacity building. It aims to explain the degree of complementarity,
interdependency and co-evolution within the process of knowledge integration and learning
over the firm’s technological trajectory. In doing so, it searches for the process of capacity
building, emphasizing the interaction between knowledge reconfiguration – i.e. whether the
source of knowledge is passive, active or interactive – and its orientation – i.e. whether it is
explorative or exploitative. In brief, the thesis analyses the link between knowledge integration,
technological learning, capacity building and technological transformation.
