Teamwork and Knowledge Flow Revolutionize Organizational Learning in Innovative Environments
The article explores how a manager's technology decisions impact their team's learning and organizational structure. It looks at how a firm's structure and workers' skills influence the manager's technology choices. The study focuses on one firm adapting to a changing environment, without considering interactions between firms or markets. The research suggests that firms don't always make rational choices based on short-term gains, but rather evolve through interactions between different agents. The study excludes the effects of firms' technology choices on future decisions, which are important in the evolutionary approach to technological change.
