“…Literature on the positive correlation between OL and innovation was indicated by many previous researches (Damanpour, 1991;Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995;Bontis et al, 2002;Calantone et al, 2002;Dishman & Pearson, 2003;Garcí a-Morales et al, 2012). OL promotes organizational innovation capability (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995;Bontis et al, 2002); supports creativity (Sá nchez & Mahoney, 1996;Yli-Renko et al, 2001), stimulates new knowledge and ideas (Damanpour, 1991;Dishman & Pearson, 2003), enhances ability to understand and apply these ideas (Damanpour, 1991), favors organizational intelligence and forms a background for orientation to organizational innovation (Garcí a-Morales et al, 2012; Yao et al, 2013).…”

The paper aims to test the mediating role of organizational learning (OL) between transformational leadership (TL) and innovation. Based on the literature review, we developed a research model proposing that TL enhances innovation capability through its positive effects on four components of OL: Knowledge acquisition, knowledge dissemination, knowledge interpretation, and organization memory. Structural equations modeling (SEM) is applied to examine the influence of independent factors on dependent ones via data collected from 76 Chinese firms. The results indicated that aspects of OL act as the mediators between TL and innovation capability. Especially, the findings highlight the important role of TL practice to enhance OL and the knowledge dissemination's significant impacts on innovation capability. The paper has provided theoretical and managerial initiatives on theory of leadership and innovation that might help firms identify a right pathway to promote their innovation capability aimed at adapting more effectively to the changes of business environment.

“…Researchers also find a causal relationship between AC's effectiveness and NPP of the firm (Yao et al, 2013). Javalgi et al (2014) argue that collection of intelligence from the market is not the same as winning the market, and state that learning capacity and firm performance influence the effects of customer-oriented selling.…”

The recent marketing literature identifies market orientation and marketing capabilities as key concepts that firms should use to achieve their competitive advantages. Previous research also confirms cross effects of these dimensions in firms' performance. The present study extends the literature on this subject by introducing absorptive capacity (AC) as a moderator of the relationship among market orientation, the interaction of market orientation and marketing capability, and firms' new product performance. This study empirically examines the research model using survey data from 188 manufacturing firms in Sweden. The findings confirm previous studies that claim a positive relationship among market orientation, marketing capability, and new product performance. More importantly, the results indicate that AC positively moderates the relationship between market orientation and firms' new product performance. Furthermore, the findings suggest that experts should consider AC as a competitive factor in line with the complimentary effect of market orientation and marketing capability. This consideration would contribute to explain better firm-related performance, such as new product performance.

“…In a business organisation, knowledge is not only developed through internal sources but also through absorption from external sources. The study of Yao, Yang, Fisher, Ma, and Fang (2013) suggested that there is a significant effect from knowledge absorption on business performance. Similar to Yao et al (2013), Yazhou and Jian (2013) found there to be significant effect from knowledge absorption on business performance.…”

Aim/Purpose: Two research objectives were addressed in this study. The first objective was to determine the effect of knowledge management orientation behaviour on business performance, and the second objective was to investigate the mediating effect of market orientation in the relationship between knowledge management orientation behaviour and business performance. Background: In business strategic perspective, the idea of knowledge management has been discussed widely. However, there is a lack of study exploring the notion of knowledge management orientation especially in the perspective of Indonesia’s creative economy sector. Methodology: One hundred and thirty one participants were involved in this study. They were economy creative practitioners in Indonesia. Data were analysed by using Partial Least Squares. Contribution: Upon the completion of the research objectives, this study contributes to both theoretical and practical perspectives. From a theoretical standpoint, this study proposes a conceptual model explaining the relationship among knowledge management orientation behaviour, market orientation, and business performance in Indonesia’s creative economy sector. As this study found a significant effect of knowledge sharing in market orientation and market orientation in business performance, the study showed the mediation role of market orientation in the relationship between knowledge sharing and business performance. From a practical perspective, this study implies a guideline for business practitioners in enhancing business through the application of knowledge management orientation behaviour. Findings: The results show that organizing memory, knowledge absorption, and knowledge receptivity has a direct significant effect on business performance. However, in affecting business performance, knowledge sharing must be mediated by market orientation. Recommendations for Practitioners: Based on the results of the study, practitioners should enhance their behaviour in implementing knowledge management in terms of increasing business performance. In addition, it is suggested that business practitioners must be market driven, as market orientation was found to have an important role in affecting business performance. Recommendation for Researchers: Future researchers might integrate other constructs such as innovation, marketing capabilities, or organizational learning with this current conceptual model to have more comprehensive insight about the relationship between knowledge management orientation and business performance. Impact on Society: This study suggests that business practitioners must have knowledge management driven behaviour as well as market orientation to enhance the performance of their business. Future Research: Future research might add other variables to make the conceptual model more comprehensive and also replicate this study into different industrial settings.
