Why is it important?

This work advances the theory of organizational learning by testing the theme of collective learning cycle in a real work setting. It presents a real example of aligning market orientation into a collective learning cycle directed toward achieving competitive advantages.

Perspectives

The paper addresses a set of directions through which auto assembly firms leverage both collective learning practices and knowledge-driven strategy to gain competitive advantages. The foreign subsidiary paradigm indicates how a firm can use collective learning not only to respond to an internal need for change but also to react to external market forces and constraints.
