Recently I wrote a working paper for the International HRD Conference that will be held on June 2-4, 2010 in Pecs, Hungary. This working paper will be presented in the conference stream: business strategy, organizational learning and knowledge management. The paper tries to establish a connection between the fields of Human Resource Development (HRD) and Strategic Management through the concept of absorptive capacity. Up until now the corporate university has been claimed to be a strategic instrument for learning and development in organizations. The strategic nature of the corporate university remains unclear lacks scientific fundament. With this paper I try to establish a fundament for future research into the strategic potential of corporate universities.Working paper: Corporate University for strategic innovation
