“…Following the theoretical definition given above in this paper, internal knowledge creation capability was defined as a unidimensional multi-item scale, following the line proposed by García-Morales et al (2007). The six items comprising the scale are the result of a thorough review of the literature (e.g., Goh and Richards, 1997;Templeton et al, 2002), in which additional efforts were made to select aspects related to the learning and creation of knowledge, and the discovery of new solutions within the firm. Specifically, these attributes gather managers' and employees' commitment to change and learning, firms' abilities to develop an innovation culture, an organizational design open to learning, and investment in R&D (Appendix, Section 1).…”

The data were plotted on charts for better visualisation, for each of the areas considered -the company's operations, employees and management.…”

“…They point out that a key challenge will be to develop measures of learning outcomes specifically to assess whether an organisation is in fact a learning organisation. Thus, in preparing the questionnaire we followed the work of Templeton (2000). As his questionnaire is already tested, we followed most of his questions.…”

“…Organizational learning can be considered as a dynamic process to generate, acquire and collect knowledge in order to develop the resources and the capacities which lead to better organizational performance (Allameh & Moghadami, 2009).
