Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Organizations are unconsciously obedient to organizational inertia; thus, organizations repeat behavior regardless of the outcome of past practices. This situation leads to the repetition of failure and the conversion of success into failure. This project studies both organizational learning within an organization about the recurrence of chemical disasters and inter-organizational learning concerning innovation and a firm's external knowledge network created through licensing-in. Through studying organizational learning within and without an organization, using cross-sectoral archival data of the chemical industry, this project demonstrates the existence of organizational inertia and the mechanisms of strategic momentum . Furthermore, this project also demonstrates a recurrence mechanism for chemical disasters and marginal effect of licensing-in on innovation of technology insertion.
