Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los procesos de aprendizaje e identificar los mecanismos de adquisición y conversión de conocimiento que contribuyen significativamente al proceso de acumulación de capacidad tecnológica. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, se llevó a cabo un estudio exploratorio en 44 empresas del sector de bienes de capital mecánicos en Brasil. La contribución de los mecanismos de adquisición y conversión de conocimiento se evaluó mediante el Índice de Capacidad Tecnológica (ICT), el análisis de correspondencias y la regresión lineal múltiple con selección stepwise. Los resultados indican diferentes niveles de influencia entre los mecanismos; muestran que, aunque dichos mecanismos están presentes, varían en intensidad y contribución, lo que refleja diferencias en la acumulación de capacidades tecnológicas a lo largo del tiempo. Las iniciativas relacionadas con la expansión de la capacidad de producción, la capacitación en técnicas de producción y procesos, y los sistemas de calidad están asociadas positivamente con el ICT, lo que indica un mayor compromiso organizacional en la mejora de procesos. Sin embargo, se observa una interacción limitada con fuentes externas de conocimiento, bajos niveles de intercambio de conocimiento y un grado reducido de recombinación de conocimiento codificado. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de gestionar eficazmente múltiples mecanismos de aprendizaje, ya que influyen directamente en el ritmo y la trayectoria de la acumulación de capacidad tecnológica en las empresas.
