“…Drawing on Social Network eory [54][55][56][57], this study explains and verifies the mediating mechanism of OLC on the relationship between RE and the IPFLS and explores how RE promotes the IPFLS by improving OLC (see Figure 2). Based on Social Network eory and Organizational Learning eory [19], this research analyzes the relationships among three variables (RE, OLC, and IPFLS) and presents four research hypotheses.…”

“…On the other hand, organizational learning capacity (OLC) is also essential for cooperative innovation with external partners [19]. Scholars agree that firms across organizational boundaries to obtain resources and integrate capabilities of external partners [20] not only maintain moderate RE but also have a high level of learning capacity [19,21,22]. From the perspective of OLC, FLFs absorb and integrate knowledge and technology needed for service innovation.…”

Cooperative innovation has become a critical method for freight logistics firms in supply chain management. The previous study has proved that relational embeddedness (RE) has a positive effect on service innovation performance. However, the influence of organizational learning capacity (OLC) has been widely ignored. This study focuses on explaining the mechanism of OLC on the relationship between RE and innovation performance of freight logistics service (IPFLS). Firstly, a theoretical model is constructed based on Social Network Theory, and four research hypotheses are presented. Secondly, a sample of 236 respondents from freight logistics firms in China is analyzed to test the hypotheses. Finally, several management implications and recommendations are suggested. The research results demonstrate that both RE and OLC have positive effects on IPFLS. Meanwhile, OLC partially mediates the relationship between RE and IPFLS. The findings provide practical guidance for managers to strengthen the relationship with partners and enhance OLC.

“…Surprisingly, organizational learning theory frames learning as organizational transformation and mirrors models of individual learning based in cognitive and social psychology. Researchers concur that an organization learns by way of its individuals' individual learning (Al-Harrasi, 2014). Individual learning, from a cognitive standpoint, entails storing, retrieving, altering, and applying information; this information processing depends on memory as a storage mechanism where everything we perceive and experience is stored away.…”

Purpose: The study sought to establish how strategic alliances influence performance of firms in the tourism sector in Kenya. The study specifically centred on establishing the influence of technology alliances, marketing alliances, financial alliances and distribution alliances on performance of firms in the tourism sector. The theories anchoring the study comprised of Organizational Learning Theory, Positioning Theory, Resource Dependency Theory and Strategic Behaviour Theory. Methodology: The study targeted tourism partners comprising of 44 tourist rated hotels, 210 travel agents and 660 tour operators operating in Nairobi County and licensed by Tourism Regulatory Authority. One manager from each of the firm formed the unit of observation. Yamane (1967) sampling formula was employed to develop a sample of 273 respondents. Primary data was collected through questionnaires containing close ended questions. The data collected was analyzed by employing both inferential analysis and descriptive statistics using MS Excel and SPSS software V22. The results and findings of the analysis were presented in form of tables and figures. Findings: The results established that strategic alliances account for 55.7% of variations on performance of firms in the tourism sector. Additionally, technology alliances, marketing alliances, financial alliances and distribution alliances bears a positive and significant influence on performance of firms in tourism sector operating in Nairobi County, Kenya. This is shown by beta values of 0.486, 0.376, 0.284 and 0.401 and significance values of 0.000, 0.004, 0.011 and 0.000. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The results bears the implications that increasing either of the independent variable with one unit results to increase in performance levels of the firms with respective beta values. The study recommends the management of firms to enhance practices in technology alliances, marketing alliances, financial alliances and distribution alliances since the practices bear a positive significant influence on performance of the firms.

Based on resource-based view (RBV) and organizational learning theories, the study has built theoretical conceptual model of multiple networks embedding influencing enterprises' l innovation performance from the perspective of organizational learning. The work discussed the internal mechanism of ambidextrous organizational learning activities affected by embedded relationship, embedded structure and embedded resource influencing technological innovation performance. Through obtaining data form 305 respondents in management of MSMEs in Sierra Leone, the study systematically validated the conceptual model with the structural equation model. It showed that embedded relationship, embedded structure and embedded resource in enterprise organization network can effectively improve the enterprise's organizational learning capability, bringing significant promotion in innovation performance. Wherein, the embedded relationship and embedded resource can promote not only the innovation performance of the enterprise, but also the performance by improving the knowledge management ability of the enterprise. While, the promotion effect of embedded structure to enterprises' technological innovation majorly relies on the fully-mediated The macroscopical trend of modern enterprise networking development and the innovation performance model of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME's) also has gradually developed from the single model by taking a new paradigm of network embeddedness and regulated by ambidextrous organizational learning. Many studies (Zahra, Ireland et al. 2000, Yli-Renko, Autio et al. 2001, Uzzi 2018) have found that network embedding has generally become one of the most important factors that even determine the enterprise innovation portfolio. Networks enhance firms' accessibility to new knowledge, external resources, technologies and new market opportunities (GF1). Polanyi proposed the concept of embeddedness in 1968 and defined it as the degree to which economic activity is constrained by noneconomic institutions. This phenomenon has seen diverse classification but still maintains its central core denotation of organizational relationship and their related economic activities. Morone and Taylor (2004) argues network embedding is one of the most important features in modern organization relationships. Echols and Tsai (2005) define Network embeddedness as a concept regarding "the structure of a firm's relationship with other firms-specifically, the extent to which a firm is connected to other firms" and it was classified into three dimensions by Inkpen and Tsang (2005), namely, cognitive, structural and relational embeddedness. Cognitive embeddedness, on the other hand, represents the shared representations, goals, norms, faith and experience among network members (Le Breton-Miller and Miller 2009, Gölgeci, Ferraris et al. 2019).Structural embeddedness is also considered as the amount of information the focal firm could obtain from its network, which largely depends on the position of the firm in the network and...
