The Relationship between Learning Orientation and Dynamic Capability based on Environmental Education

Abstract

In the knowledge-based economy era, new firms need dynamic capability to adapt to the rapidly changing environment with increasing uncertainties in the competitive environment. A lot of researchers concern about the significant effects of knowledge accumulation on capability enhancement, systematic research on the effect of organizational learning on dynamic capability is still short. With questionnaire survey, 223 enterprises established within the past 8 years are selected as the research subjects for exploring the relationship among learning orientation, ambidextrous learning, and dynamic capability as well as testing the moderation effect of environmental uncertainty. The results reveal positive effects of learning orientation on dynamic capability, partial mediation of exploratory learning (exploitative learning) on learning orientation to dynamic capability, and moderated-mediation of environmental uncertainty on the exploratory learning (exploitative learning) to learning orientationdynamic capability. The research proves the function of learning orientation to dynamic capability and provides beneficial inspiration for new firms promoting dynamic capability.

The Impact of Startups’ Dual Learning on Their Green Innovation Capability: The Effects of Business Executives’ Environmental Awareness and Environmental Regulations

“…First, the exploration and utilization of external knowledge are very important for startups to upgrade and renew existing resources and to re-engineer new resources. Second, the new characteristics of startups reflect that their existing knowledge may not be enough to meet their current development, and that information and technology acquired through dual learning must be transformed into organizational resources [15]. Exploratory and applied learning, as two different learning modes of an organization, play an important role in improving green innovation capability [16].…”

Dynamic capability, ambidexterity and social network—empirical evidence from SMEs in China

“…The initial explanation of this paper is that, as mainland China is a "guanxi" dominated society, and against this background, relational network involves mainly the mutual trust, knowledge and information exchange and intimate individual interaction, which are closely related to firms to acquire new knowledge and expand learning channels. And as the knowledge acquirement and extension of learning channels are helpful to the Organization's ambidextrous innovation development of DC (He et al, 2018), they will also be beneficial to innovation. In this way, firms can harvest gains, punctually, from the establishment of relational network.…”

Investigating the impact of dynamic and relational learning capabilities on green innovation performance of SMEs

“…Gomes and Wojahn (2017) argued that developing organizational capabilities required knowledge sharing and collaboration from both internal and external environment, which contribute to new innovation. Furthermore, He et al (2018) stated that organizational learning ability and the capabilities of understanding external environment enhance organization innovation performance. The organizational learning capability is essential to match organization capabilities with the dynamic environment and respond to new changes (Inan and Bititci, 2015).…”
