Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a radical innovation launch model that shows the relationship of the market, entrepreneurial and learning orientations with each other, with radical ...innovation launch marketing capabilities and the subsequent effect on radical innovation launch success. It will provide practitioners with best practices and add to current marketing theory.
Design/methodology/approach
An online survey was done, resulting in a usable sample of 176 radical innovation launch practitioners from a cross-section of US companies, namely, small to large, business-to-business and business-to-consumer firms offering a variety of products and services. A partial least squares structural equation modeling technique was used to test construct relationships and the effect on each other.
Findings
An organizational learning orientation has a direct effect on the market and entrepreneurial orientations. Learning and marketing orientations are critical links to having radical innovation launch marketing capabilities. While an entrepreneurial orientation has a direct effect on radical innovation launch success, proper, dynamic marketing capabilities are a significant driver. Over 40% of the variance in radical innovation launch success is directly or indirectly affected by the three studied strategic orientations and radical innovation launch marketing capabilities.
Research limitations/implications
This study was conducted only in the USA. A cross-cultural study could be undertaken. Type and size of firm, type of external environment, radical innovation department structure, transformational leadership strength and competitive intensity effect could be studied. New, up-to-date adaptable marketing capabilities should be researched and validated.
Practical implications
For radical innovation launch success, it is critical that a firm develop the market, entrepreneurial and learning orientations and have specific, dynamic marketing capabilities in place. Existing managers should be trained, or new talent hired, to give the firm the capability to develop unique, radical innovation launch strategic, brand identity and new target market plans, to select and manage new downstream partners, and to have quick, customer launch feedback mechanisms in place.
Originality/value
An empirical study of the effect of all three strategic orientations on radical innovation launch marketing capabilities and subsequent radical innovation launch success has not been previously addressed.
This research aims to comprehensively examine scientific publications on 'learning organizations' through a bibliometric analysis of 1,551 scientific publications from 1976 to 2023, sourced from the ...Scopus database. Using a quantitative approach, this study focuses on two main aspects: performance analysis and science mapping. The bibliometric analysis follows the steps proposed by Donthu et al. (2021).

Additionally, it identifies recent research topics within the field. The findings show that publications and citations have increased over the last four decades, with significant growth starting in 1994 (24 publications) and peaking in 2020 (87 publications). Key findings include analyses of document types, source types, popular languages, subject areas, research trends, top countries, influential institutions, prolific authors, active sources, top keywords, and citation patterns. Notably, this research highlights the limitations inherent in using a single database (Scopus) for data collection.Finally, the study suggests directions for future research in learning organizations, providing valuable insights for scholars and practitioners in the field.
The discipline of systems thinking was developed to study and predict outcomes of large multicomponent systems. It provides a lens to examine complex problems, such as global warming or population ...health. This article applies the basic tenets of systems thinking to the practice of dentistry, looking specifically at patient safety and quality improvement. Using a systems view of the dental office; an argument is made for the development of a quality initiative through the creation of a mechanism for non-discoverable adverse event reporting. This would create a resource for dentists to learn from past adverse events and prevent them from happening again.
The development of science and technology requires educational institutions to make changes to keep up with the times so that human resource productivity and quality management are needed in an ...Islamic educational organization. This research method is the result of literature review research. The purpose of this study is to try to describe the meaning of knowledge management and learning organization as well as knowledge management as an effort to develop a learning organization in Islamic educational institutions, where knowledge management is critical to study in the development of human resource productivity in an Islamic educational institution. The results of this literature review are an educational institution, educators, and educators need knowledge management to develop and improve quality human resources, increase the value of an organization or company and increase collaboration in an Islamic educational institution.
Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the potential of knowledge management (KM) as a discipline in helping understand and manage social and economic complexity. The paper highlights some of the ...potential relationships between KM in organisations and their economic performance. Finally, the authors assess the role of human resources and technological infrastructures in the relationship between organisation’s approach to KM and their performance.
Design/methodology/approach
The hypotheses are tested via a survey on a sample of managerial-level employees of information technology organisations located in the city of Brno in Czech Republic. The data collected are analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to study the relationship between KM; the workforce’s willingness and ability to collaborate and co-create value; and the organisations’ economic performance.
Findings
The research found that there is a direct and positive relationship between an organisation’s approach to KM and its economic performance. This study also shows that the workforce’s behaviour and the technological infrastructure of the organisation have a direct effect on business performance. Finally, the authors proposed that a link between human resource management and technology orientation must be established and supported by a KM strategy.
Originality/value
This paper offers a new perspective to the approach to KM in organisations. Reflections and empirical results underline the need for organisations to invest in the implementation of KM strategies that involve both the human resources and technological infrastructure as a way to improve the impact of knowledge on the companies’ economic performances.
This article aims to study knowledge management as an effort for learning organizations in STAIYO. The formulation of the problem in this study relates to the central object, the main actor, and the ...knowledge management process as a learning organization at STAIYO. This study used a qualitative approach with the background of knowledge management activities at STAIYO. The results of this study indicate that the central object in knowledge management in STAIYO is related to increasing member competence, which includes pedagogical competence, personal competence, professional competence, and social competence. The actors in knowledge management are certainly all structural members possessed by STAIYO. While the application process of knowledge management as an effort for learning organizations in STAIYO consists of, 1) the socialization process; regular discussions, holding seminars, including one member to attend training and/or training, 2) externalization process; documenting the results of routine discussions and making proceedings on the results of the seminar, 3) the combination process; requires every member of the organization to conduct research in each year, 4) internalization process; requires lecturers to publish in educatia (their internal journal).
Purpose
The main purpose of this study was to validate the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) in a Vietnamese context. Using the DLOQ as a research tool, this study also ...investigated the impact of demographic features on participants’ perceptions of learning organizations (LOs).
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from 748 valid responses to a version of the DLOQ translated into Vietnamese. Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the reliable internal consistency and validity of the DLOQ in a Vietnamese context. Then, one-way ANOVA analyses and independent sample t-tests were used to assess the differences produced by the characteristics of respondents and their enterprises.
Findings
The results of this study show that three versions of the DLOQ are applicable to a Vietnamese context. The findings of this study also suggest that several demographic features produced significant differences in respondents’ perceptions of organizational learning.
Research limitations/implications
There are several limitations of this study. First, this study used self-reporting, and individual perspectives of questions can bring about perception bias. Also, the length of the original version of the DLOQ (i.e. 43 questions) might impact the results, because of participants’ lack of patience and focus. In addition, various levels of organizational learning may cause some confusion, leading to misinterpretation. Finally, the overrepresentation of large state-owned enterprises in the service industry in the sample may have caused bias when interpreting the results. Future research should be conducted to further validate and extend the findings of this study for small- and medium-sized enterprises, which account for 98% of businesses in Vietnam. It is strongly suggested that scholars use the validated Vietnamese DLOQ to measure the impacts of learning culture on learning-related results in Vietnam, such as individual/team/organizational performance, staff satisfaction and so on. Finally, future research should consider making appropriate study designs to collect and analyze data from various resources and not be limited to self-reported questionnaires. This would minimize common method bias.
Practical implications
Application of the DLOQ provides valuable insights and understanding for use in designing and evaluating efforts to learn at all levels in Vietnamese enterprises.
Social implications
Regarding designing, adjusting and implementing strategies to boost the learning capacity of an organization, the findings of this study also imply that business leaders and practitioners in Vietnamese enterprises can build strategies for enhancing LO culture without biases stemming from gender or management level. However, education level and work experience should be considered critical features that could impact the effectiveness of such strategies. Also, understanding and applying the DLOQ when building LOs will promote Vietnamese businesses’ competitiveness and international integration.
Originality/value
Using statistical results, this study confirmed that a rigorously translated Vietnamese version of the DLOQ produced reliable measurement scores with a construct validity sufficient to measure LOs in a Vietnamese context.
•Equipment is developed by utilizing negation and entropy concepts.•The equipment allows the learning organization to refine existing knowledge.•The equipment helps the learning organization in the ...decision-making process.•The equipment is validated and tested on two well-known organizational cases.
The present paper aims to put forward negation and entropy as novel perspectives for knowledge management in learning organizations. The present work considers the surrounding factors of information to enumerate the effectiveness of information in the knowledge management field. Moreover, by utilizing the effectiveness of surrounding factors, a framework inspired by Dempster-Shafer theory has been presented to generate negation. Finally, the present paper defines and calculates entropy for information. We have applied negation and entropy concepts to two well-known cases of organizational systems and management domains to study their impact on the knowledge management domain. The cases have supported our decisions taken after the calculation of proposed negation and entropy concepts. The proposed method has a quality interpretation of the information operators and has the merit of simplifying knowledge management and decision making problems in the context of a learning organization. The present study combines multiple aspects of knowledge management, organizational systems, decision making, and organizational learning.
The study aims to examine the relationship and interaction between learning organization culture and the factors influencing digital transformation (leadership style, training, digital readiness, and ...trust), as well as identify factors that significantly influence learning organization functioning by exploring the extension of a grounded theory framework. The survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. The survey population was composed of managers of Eastern European manufacturing companies who were reached through the Orbis database. The survey yielded 618 evaluable responses (n = 618). The PLS-SEM method was used because the structural model is complex, with many constructs (some of which are formatively measured) and model relationships. Leadership behavior and a supportive management style inspire the development and training of employees, through which the level of readiness for digitalization and Industry 4.0 technologies can be increased. Training in these skills will increase confidence in digitalization technologies. Leadership support also influences digital trust and employee response to the use of digital technologies, as does participation in training, which directly supports digitalization and I4.0 readiness. The results of the research not only support previous research findings but also complement them by focusing specifically on the impact on the learning organization in the context of digitalization. This study provides evidence that leadership that is supportive of the learning organization's culture plays a key role. Overall, leadership is a dominant influence in the digital transformation of organizations and in shaping the learning organization culture this requires, but all the relationships represented in the model have a significant positive relationship.
