สรุป	Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) refers to an organization's ability to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit external knowledge to enhance innovation and performance. Zahra and George (2002) reconceptualized absorptive capacity into four distinct but interrelated processes in their foundational Academy of Management Review article. This measurement scale captures organizational learning dynamics and knowledge-based competitive advantage, making it essential for assessing innovation capability and knowledge management effectiveness.	Organizational Resilience refers to an organization's capacity to anticipate disruptions, withstand shocks, and adapt effectively to changing circumstances while maintaining core identity and functionality. Weick and Sutcliffe (2007) argue that resilience is not primarily about avoiding disruption but about developing capability to sense threats early, respond rapidly, and learn from shocks. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed organizational resilience gaps: firms with diversified supply chains, flexible workforce arrangements, and adaptive cultures recovered faster than those with fragile, optimized-for-efficiency structures. This scale measures organizational resilience across three dimensions: readiness (preparation for uncertainty), response capability (speed and agility in crisis), and adaptive learning (capturing and applying lessons).
