Recently, universities are playing active role in economic development of the country, besides their traditional role of teaching and research.  Research has shown that the increasing global trend of entrepreneurial activities emerging in major academic institutions have left universities with no choice but to re-invent their operational activities and engage themselves in entrepreneurial activities to remain competitive globally. However this transformation required entrepreneurial leadership that can lead universities to enhance the commercialization of their research.  Thus, in this regard, entrepreneurial leadership is inevitable for universities. Current study provided the review of literature which argues the need for entrepreneurial leadership in the context of commercialization of university research.

Recently, organizations are looking the ways to enhance their performance through innovation and learning. Most organizations are enhancing innovation to increase performance and to get a competitive advantage. However, very few studies are focused to investigate the role of organizational learning in the context of organizational innovation and performance.

A random sample of 212 employees of the banking sector was selected to collect data. Results indicated that organizational learning significantly mediates the relationship of the organizational innovation and performance. Thus, a study was conducted to assess the presence of organizational learning can enhance the organizational performance in the presence of organizational innovation.
