The paper presents and tests a model of innovativeness improvement based on the impact of organizational learning culture. The concept of organizational learning culture (OLC) is presented and defined as a set of norms and values about the functioning of an organization. Data from 201 Korean companies employing more than 50 people were gathered. The impact of OLC on innovations empirically tested via structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that OLC has a very strong positive direct effect on innovations as well as moderate positive indirect impact via innovative culture.

The paper employs the network perspective to study patterns and structures of intra-organizational learning network. Confirmatory social network analysis (exponential random graph modeling) was employed for data analysis. Findings suggest: (1) central actors int he learning network are experienced and hold senior positions int he organizational hierarchy; (2) evidence of homophily and proximity; (3) learning relationships and non-reciprocal; and (4) transitivity and high local clustering with sparse inter-cluster ties are significant for intra-organizational learning networks.

Paper published in Financial Times Top 40 Academic Journals: Conceptualizing and measuring the effect of human resource practices on firm performance has been the focal point of discussion in the strategic human resource management field. The valuation model we propose is illuminated by a case study from the mobile telecommunications industry.

Organizational learning contributes to organizational performance. One research question that remains inadequately explained is how learning occurs. This paper suggests that learning networks form an important learning environment for knowledge transfer. A case study of a software development and business consulting company is used to test the network perspective on intra-organizational learning. Learning needs to be seen as both participation in communities of practice and a ?ow of previously acquired knowledge.

As the body of knowledge on marketing-sales interface expands, there is a greater need to investigate the speci?c aspects of marketing–sales con?gurations in B2B ?rms. This study presents a dynamic, evolutionary spectrum of four B2B marketing–sales interface con?gurations. The ?ndings show that no con?guration is inherently superior. Our dynamic con?guration spectrum offers managers a toolkit to evaluate their ?rm's marketing–sales interface in terms of current and desired positions, and contribute to their ?rm's market orientation and business performance.
