Building Core Competencies through Internal and External Learning

本研究探討組織如何透過內部與外部學習培養其核心能力。所謂內部學習是取自Huber (1991)的資訊理論，檢視組織取得，傳遞，儲存以及擷取資訊的流程；所謂外部學習則是檢視組織如何從策略聯盟的關系中取得資訊並進行學習。本研究採用個案研究法，對中華汽車以及元大京華的高級主管進行訪談。本研究發現，經由妥善規劃與執行的策略聯盟及購併，合併，以及各種資訊取得、傳遞、及擷取的活動，組織得以吸取學習，並進一步發展其核心能力。 This research studies how organizations, through internal and external learning, go about to develop core competencies. By internal learning, we derive from Huber's (1991) information theory approach, looking at the processes with which organizations acquire, distribute, store and retrieve information. By external learning, we look at how organizations acquire information and learn from strategic alliances. This research adopted the case study approach and interviewed top ranking officers from two companies, one from the automobile industry and one from the brokerage industry. We show that firms, through well-planned and well-executed strategic alliances and/ or mergers and acquisitions, as well as various information acquisition, distribution, storage and retrieval activities, are able to absorb, learn, and eventually develop core competencies
