“…The IOL literature is influenced by R. Bouncken from the University of Bayreuth, Germanyshe published four papers between 2015 and 2019 (inter alia,Bouncken et al 2015;Bouncken et al 2016;Fredrich et al 2019), becoming the most active recent researcher in the fieldfollowed by J. Hartley from the Open University of the UK, M. Holmqvist from Stockholm University, Sweden, and R. Smeds from Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, each with four articles published within the periods of2002, 2003-2009 (accordingly) (inter alia, Hartley and Rashman, 2018Holmqvist 2004;Smeds and Alvesalo, 2003). The overview of leading authors and affiliations indicates that European authors are most actively engaged in IOL research suggesting their dominance and contribution to IOL literature.…”

Purpose Scholarly interest in interorganizational learning (IOL) has spiked in the past decade because of its potential to absorb, transfer and create valuable knowledge for enhanced innovative performance and sustained competitive advantage. However, only a handful of review studies exists on the topic. The evolution of IOL has not been studied explicitly and there is a lack of understanding of the field trends. To fill this gap, this paper aims to comprehensively review the literature on IOL and map its evolution and trends using bibliometric techniques. In particular, the authors use visualization of science mapping freeware to systematize the findings and interpret the results. Design/methodology/approach The authors synthesize the findings using “evaluative bibliometric techniques” to identify the quality and quantity indicators of the IOL research and use “relational bibliometric techniques” to determine the structural indicators of the IOL field such as the intellectual foundations and emerging research themes of IOL research. Findings Through an analysis of 208 journal publications obtained from the Scopus database, the authors determine the leading authors, countries, highly cited papers and their contributions to the IOL literature. By identifying the key hotspots, intellectual foundations and emerging trends of IOL, the authors provide promising avenues in IOL research. Originality/value To the best of the knowledge, this study is the first to systematically review the IOL literature and provide future research directions.

“…Thus, we can call our study constructive action research: the solution to the problem is developed together with the case company through action research. The data were collected from three developmental action research projects with the case company, realised through process simulation projects that applied the SimLab TM method (Smeds 1994, 1997a, Forsse´n and Haho 2001, Smeds and Alvesalo 2003a, 2006.…”

This article presents a new theoretical framework for coordinating an inter-unit collaborative service process towards a joint customer. To guarantee the quality and the added value of the service offering for the end customer, the two business units should organise their work as cross-functional and cross-unit business processes. The common service process is itself presented as a central coordination mechanism. It defines how tasks and responsibilities are shared between the collaborating units. The framework presents the factors supporting cooperation between the units, the prerequisites of the common service process and the ways of coordinating inter-unit cooperation. The study applies a constructive action research approach and abductive reasoning to develop the new framework through a single-company longitudinal, qualitative case study that consists of three development projects. Business unit managers can use the new framework as an analytical tool for recognising potential factors supporting cooperation and coordination in their specific operating environments.

“…As for the external sources, benchmarking activities among competitors [40][41][42], the use of consultants [49,50], and of professional service firms (or PSF, [51]) identify possible KC activities as stimulators to create specific knowledge through an indirect contact with external competitors and partners. For the intraorganizational sources, internal brainstorming [52], simulations [53,54], job rotation [55], and learning-by-doing activities [56] are commonly used to generate ideas, to frame proposals, and to explain internal processes. In relation to CE and CBM application, the creation of context-specific knowledge regarding those concepts appears to be essential, especially in relation to the complexity related to the construction sector [57], and to the intraorganizational and interorganizational challenges that CBMs demand.…”

From Barriers to Enablers: The Role of Organizational Learning in Transitioning SMEs into the Circular Economy

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To contribute to small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) sustainable transition into the circular economy, the study proposes the activation of organizational learning (OL) processes—denoted here as multi-level knowledge creation, transfer, and retention processes—as a key phase in introducing circular business models (CBMs) at SME and supply chain (SC) level. The research employs a mixed-method approach, using the focus group methodology to identify contextual elements impacting on CBM-related OL processes, and a survey-based evaluation to single out the most frequently used OL processes inside Italian construction SMEs. As a main result, a CBM-oriented OL multi-level model offers a fine-grained understanding of contextual elements acting mutually as barriers and drivers for OL processes, as possible OL dynamics among them. The multi-level culture construct—composed of external stakeholders’, SC stakeholders’, and organizational culture—identify the key element to activate CBM-oriented OL processes. Main implications are related to the identification of cultural, structural, regulatory, and process contextual elements across the external, SC, and organizational levels, and their interrelation with applicable intraorganizational and interorganizational learning processes. The proposed model would contribute to an improved implementation of transitioning into the circular economy utilizing sustainable business models in the construction SMEs.
