Entrepreneurial Orientation, Organizational Learning, and Performance: Evidence from China
研究了中国607家企业中创业导向与实验性学习、获取性学习的关系，发现创业导向促进实验性学习但与获取性学习呈倒U型关系，两种学习均提升绩效但获取性学习效果较弱。
This study examined the relationships among entrepreneurial orientation (EO), experimental learning (EL) and acquisitive learning (AL), and firm performance (FP). We tested our model in China as EO is the engine that is driving firms to take advantage of opportunities in an increasingly market–oriented transitional economy. From the responses of 607 firms, we found that EO was positively related to EL but had an inverse U–shaped relationship with AL. Both EL and AL enhanced FP although the effects from AL were weaker and became nonsignificant when external knowledge was embedded into the firm's internal private knowledge.
