And this study set up the SEM, or structural equation model, and analyzed the data results from the questionnaire survey which targeted the small and medium-sized business workers for the analysis of actual proof. As a result of this study, the absorptive Capacity is needed in a small and medium-sized business to conduct a successful technology innovation. As it was proven in the result of this study, it is very clear that since technology changes constantly and speedily, a business cannot be advanced if it depends only on the currently possessed technology. Therefore, it is necessary to be diligent in obtaining new knowledge from not only internal but external source to ensure competitiveness of a business. I encourage for a business to inter join knowledge and technology that a business has already developed with knowledge and technology that the business has acquired from other source.
