Description
Summary:This work aims at presenting a reflection on the relationship between organizational learning and performance adopting the approach of dynamic learning capabilities. It considers different typologies that have been proposed in diverse studies to classify organizational learning by collective scope or individual level. Based on such typologies, the factors that affect the development of organizational learning are selected. This enabled to find the reasons why organizations should view learning as a platform for competitiveness and permanence over time. It is also a measure to ensure maintainability in dynamic and ever-changing environments. Regarding the method, a descriptive literature review of specific time periods was conducted to link OL, dynamic learning capabilities and performance. It used concepts related to the learning organization as a reference. In addition, it was based on the type of organizational learning and the (individual and collective) surrounding environment. Some considerations on organizational learning and business performance highlight the importance of OL for the approach of dynamic learning capabilities and its influence on performance. Finally, the significance of OL in business competitiveness was demonstrated at different levels and structures.
