Entrepreneurial Orientation and Organizational Learning: The Impact of Network Range and Network Closure
提出理论命题,探讨创业导向如何促进组织的获取性学习和实验性学习,以及网络范围和网络封闭性如何分别调节这两种学习过程,并为企业如何有效利用创业导向和网络参与以最大化学习效果提供建议。
This study develops theoretical propositions regarding the role that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) plays in enhancing an organization's level of acquisitive and experimental learning. It also develops propositions concerning the manner in which a firm's ability to directly link itself to disparate sources of knowledge (network range) impacts the relationship between EO and acquisitive learning, as well as how a firm's ability to maintain a series of strong ties within a network (network closure) impacts the relationship between EO and experimental learning. Finally, propositions are developed regarding how firms can most effectively utilize EO and network participation to maximize levels of organizational learning while conserving their limited resources.
