Sustainability author guidelines make it clear that any form of prior publication should be declared prior to submission. As corresponding author of both papers, I sincerely apologize for this. In addition, I wish to offer a detailed explanation of the overlaps between these publications. Overlaps between papers [ 1 ] and [ 2 ]: Although both publications are based in the same database, they entail substantial differences. While the research model published in [ 2 ] relies on second order (multidimensional) constructs, the research model posited in [ 1 ] entails a disaggregation of the constructs using the first order variables that form both constructs. Therefore, the objective of the model published in [ 1 ] is to deepen the knowledge of the relationships between the constructs in a disaggregated way. Consequently, the research hypotheses posited in [ 2 ] follow a “black box” approach, while in [ 1 ] the constructs are split into two dimensions, coherently with an open “black box” approach. This outcome contributes to enlarging the understanding of the non-linear linkages between the constructs being studied. In addition, the type of relationships hypothesized also vary between both papers. Overlaps between papers [ 1 ] and [ 3 ]: Despite both publications being based in the same database and share one of the constructs (absorptive capacity), the two research models entail substantial differences, given that the rest of the constructs and relationships hypothesized significantly differ. Further, the dependent variable is different in both studies. The main similarity between these two publications is in the fact that both studies relied on the same scale to measure the absorptive capacity construct. The authors wish to make the following corrections about the published paper [ 1 ]. The changes are as follows: (1) Adding the paragraph in the last sentence of Section 5.1. “Finally, the outcomes derived from this paper are in line with the findings comprised at [75,76], although they comprise substantial differences, since the research model posited in this study entails a disaggregation of the main constructs using the first order variables that form both constructs. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to deepen the knowledge of the relationships between the Sustainability 2019,11, 223; doi:10.3390/su11010223 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability Sustainability 2019,11, 223 2 of 2 constructs in a disaggregated way. Consequently, the research hypotheses posited follow an open “black box” approach. This outcome contributes to enlarging the understanding of the non-linear linkages between the constructs under investigation.” (2) Citing the following reference [ 2 ] in the main text, and treating it as reference 76 in the original paper.
