The impact of big data analytics capabilities (BDACs) on firms’ sustainable performance (SP) is exerted through a set of underlying mechanisms that operate as a “black box.” Previous research, from the perspective of IT-enabled capabilities, demonstrated that a serial mediation of supply chain management capabilities (SCMCs) and circular economy pr...

The link between the field of information technology business value and sustainable activities is a widely discussed topic in academia and management. However, the mechanisms that lead to the impact on business performance are still elusive. The circular economy is one of the most recent approaches to address sustainability challenges. Drawing on t...

Purpose This article examines the mechanisms through which big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) contribute to creating sustainable value and analyzes the mediating roles that supply chain management capabilities (SCMC), as well as circular economy practices (CEP), play through their impact on sustainable performance.

Purpose: In this paper, we assess the role of knowledge management (KM) practices as a key antecedent of KM performance. Also, we examine how Information technology (IT) infrastructure is used as a driver of KM performance, organizational performance and innovation. In addition, the effects of IT infrastructure can be indirect. Specifically, we sho...

Purpose In the present work, lean and resilient practices applied to supply chains are studied in order to evaluate their impact on the three dimensions of sustainability. Additionally, the mutual impact of lean and resilient supply chain practices is investigated. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The aerospace s...

The relationship between lean management and resilience in the supply chain, whether negative or positive, is still not clear from the existing literature. This paper aims to investigate the relationship and links between lean and resilient supply chain (SC) practices and their impact on SC performance. To achieve this objective, the aerospace manu...

This paper aims to investigate the relationship and links between lean, green and resilient supply chain (SC) practices and their impact on environmental performance. To achieve this objective, the aerospace sector is chosen as the study sector. A combined methodology of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique and Interpretive Structural Mo...

In this paper we examine how managers perceive employees’ affective commitment and how this perception determines their trust as a managerial attitude toward organizational learning capability (OLC). Likewise, we study how managerial trust affects product innovation and OLC. In other words, we carry out a double mediation: firstly, we examine wheth...

This study examines post-adoption behaviors (i.e., frequency of use, routinization and infusion) and their effects on the sense of community in the domain of social network sites. In particular, this contribution formulates mediation hypotheses, which posit how frequency of use affects social integration via routinization and infusion. The data was...

Following the organizational learning theory and the knowledge-based view approach, this contribution aims to study the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and learning orientation on organizational learning, considering the latter as a mediating variable in the relationships between both antecedent cultural values and business performance. We...

In this paper we try to achieve a double objective. On one hand, we try to figure out how employee's affective commitment perceived by the manager influence on her/his level of trust and also on the organizational learning capability (OLC). In addition, we analyze how manager trust influences on OLC. On the other hand, we study how these variables...

The objective of the present study is to analyse the role played by the entrepreneurial culture of the organization and the value and uniqueness of employee knowledge (human capital) in generating innovation. This research has been conducted with a sample of companies in the most innovative sectors of Spanish industry, applying the Partial Least Sq...

Purpose – This paper has three purposes: first, to study whether organizational learning capability (OLC) is related to human resource management (HRM) practices such as selection, development, appraisals and rewards; second, to assess to what extent the value and uniqueness of human capital is associated with OLC; and lastly, to consider the possi...

Description Knowledge Management: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is the defining reference source for all theories, concepts, and methodologies within the knowledge management (KM) discipline. This comprehensive, six-volume collection of research from an international body of KM experts includes chapters on implementing KM in orga...

The traditional way of measuring learning as a result has been through the so-called learning and experience curves. The learning curves, developed within the production framework (Levitt & March, 1988), relate the manufacturing cost of a product to the accumulated experience in its production. This establishes that its cost decreases as the number...

This paper analyzes the influence of key organizational variables on organizational learning, considering the latter as a process of knowledge creation determining organizational performance. It is showed that both the entrepreneurial orientation of the organization and its learning orientation positively influence on organizational learning, and t...

Increasing globalisation and dynamism in the economy has made it necessary for established companies to regenerate themselves and renew their ability to compete. This is the goal of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) activities, which involve extending the firm’s domain of competence and corresponding opportunity set, through internally generated new...

This study aims to assess the role played by information technology (IT) in organizational learning (OL) considered as a process of knowledge creation and determined by the interaction of stocks and flows variables. We also examine how IT and OL influence both business performance and the development of the technological distinctive competencies (T...

This paper presents an analysis of the influence of Organisational Learning (OL), as a process of knowledge creation, in the development of Technological Distinctive Competencies (TDCs). We also examine how the existence of certain organisational key variables in the OL process, not treated jointly from this perspective, positively affects OL and i...

ABSTRACT The lack of consensus surrounding organizational learning (OL) meaning,has given rise to an insufficient debate about its measurement (Easterby-Smith, Crossan and Nicolini, 2000). In spite of the extensive literature about OL, it has been given insufficient opportunity to operate using quantitative techniques (Chaston, Badger and Sadler-Sm...
