Interorganizational Learning and Heterogeneous Social Structure

Norwegian School of Management, Sandvika, Norway, henrich.greve{at}bi.no

Organizations can learn from the innovations made or adopted by other organizations. I present a framework for interorganizational learning that allows study of how learning is affected by the characteristics of the origin and destination organizations and their relationship. I survey recent findings within this framework and develop new propositions on the population-level consequences of interorganizational learning from innovations. I identify areas of work that have received insufficient attention and make new proposals for research.

Key Words: learning theory • diffusion • innovations • networks
