Organizational Learning and Innovation Performance: A Review of the Literature and the Development of a Conceptual Framework and Research Hypotheses

The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework and research hypotheses based upon a thorough review of the conceptual and limited published empirical research in the organizational learning and innovation performance literatures. Hypotheses indicate the relationships between organizational learning, its antecedent, perception of the environment, and the outcome variable, innovation performance, at two levels, including individual and organizational-level innovation performance. Implications for testing these hypotheses are articulated from research and practice perspectives.
