Corporate Sustainability in the context of a cross-border acquisition integration

Rist, Lena, Hällerstrand, Linda January 2017 (has links)
The increasing global challenges, such as natural disasters, poverty and many others, pose new threats to societies and businesses. Therefore, companies increase their engagement in Corporate Sustainability (CS), which connects social, environmental and economic responsibilities. Through this approach, CS aims at overcoming environmental and social constraints in a business context to increase competitiveness in today’s fast-changing world. This fast pace, with which the business environment changes, is related to external influences, such as the above-mentioned climate change, and to fundamental structural developments. One of those is the increasing number of emerging-market companies (EMNCs) that internationalize rapidly through cross-border M&A deals, also into developed markets. Since both trends, the increase in CS engagement and the growing international M&A activity of EMNCs, gain in practical and academic importance, we conducted our study under the following research question. How is CS integrated on a strategic level after a cross-border acquisition by an EMNC? The theoretical angle from which we approached the topic aligns with the resource-based view, including the natural-resource-based view, and a stakeholder perspective. When reviewing the literature regarding CS, it became clear that substantial outcomes are still lacking despite an increasing commitment to CS. This difficulty can be linked to the variety of interpretations regarding the conception of CS and the resulting confusion among implicated parties. The review of M&A literature, with a special focus on EMNCs, revealed that these companies deploy a unique approach, which is characterized by the soft post-M&A integration of the target to allow organizational learning within both businesses. Therefore, our empirical research aimed at exploring how the strategic CS of both companies, the target and the parent, influence each other and thus, develop towards a common CS strategy. The longitudinal single case study we selected, allowed us to investigate this research proposal. Through the collection and analysis of documentary data enriched by semi-structured interviews, our study revealed the following. The exchange of knowledge and CS-related communication represented the basis for the integration of strategic CS as it nurtures organizational learning. Consequently, the CS strategies of both companies increased in maturity, which means that their sophistication evolved. In addition, we also found that the target developed towards a more permissive sustainability to align with its parent company’s CS strategy. Our main study contributions relate to an enhancement of the theoretical knowledge in the related fields. Besides this, we also identified critical practical issues, such as the importance of establishing a common conception of CS to ensure a successful CS integration on a strategic level.

[en] CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE ANALISYS AS BOTH ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING AND LEARNING ORGANIZATION TOLL IN PETROBRAS / [pt] ANÁLISE DOS CENTROS DE EXCELÊNCIA COMO FERRAMENTA DE ORGANIZAÇÃO DE APRENDIZAGEM E APRENDIZAGEM ORGANIZACIONAL NA PETROBRAS

FELIPE TOKAR DUBUS 21 July 2008 (has links)
[pt] O ambiente atual, instável e competitivo, obriga as organizações a mudanças e adaptações constantes. Os estudos em redes, unindo recursos e conhecimentos, agregando potencial de crescimento e amadurecimento em determinado campo, são ferramentas de destaque nesse ambiente que requer gestão de informação eficiente e formação de base de conhecimento organizacional, constituída pela aprendizagem organizacional. O objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar a relação entre os conceitos de aprendizagem organizacional e organização de aprendizagem com a prática dos centros de excelência na Petrobras, empresa brasileira no setor de energia. Pretende-se entender se os centros de excelência visam, funcionando como ferramenta de aprendizagem organizacional, transformar -ou sustentar- a Petrobras como uma organização de aprendizagem. O método de pesquisa utilizado é o estudo de caso na Petrobras, com dados obtidos por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e pesquisa documental. A análise de dados foi realizada de maneira descritiva-analítica, o que proporcionou uma visão dos valores e as relações existentes à luz dos referenciais da aprendizagem organizacional. Os resultados do presente estudo permitiram verificar a ligação entre esses conceitos, relacionando, portanto, esses centros às questões requeridas pelas organizações de aprendizagem e aprendizagem organizacional. Contudo, foi observado que não há o mesmo foco de aprendizado em assuntos corporativos, como acontece em temas técnicos e tecnológicos. Esta lacuna é um motivo de preocupação, visto que o intuito é de envolver todos os setores da organização, resultando na sugestão de aumentar a abrangência de implantação. / [en] The current environment, unstable and competitive, forcing the organizations to constant changes and adaptations. The network studies, linking resources and expertise, aggregate growth potential and maturity in a particular field, are highlighted tools in this environment what requires efficient information management and also organizational knowledge formation basis, made up through organizational learning. This survey aims at investigate the relation between the learning organization concept as well as the organizational learning concept with the Centers of Excellence practice in Petrobras, a Brazilian national company in the energy sector. It intend to understand whether the centers of excellence aim at, working as an organizational learning tool, turn into or keep up Petrobras as a learning organization. The research method used is the case study in Petrobras, with the recorded data gathered by means of semi-structured interviews and documental survey. The data analysis was performed in a descriptive-analitical way, which leads to a view of values and the relation present in view of the organization learning referentials. The outcomes of this current study disclosed and allowed to come to the conclusion that there is a linkage between these concepts, relating, therefore, these centers to the required issues by learning organizations and organizational learning. Nevertheless, it was realized that the focus on learning is not the same concerning on corporate issues, as it happens with technical and technological subjects. This gap is a cause for concern about, since the idea of such concepts is to involve all organization sectors, resulting on the criticism and suggestion of increasing the scope of deployment.

Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Niveles y Condiciones de Aprendizaje Organizacional (ENCAO) en trabajadores de una empresa privada peruana [Artículo] / Psychometric properties of the Organizational-Learning Levels and Conditions Scale (for its Spanish acronym, ENCAO) in employees of a Peruvian private company [Article]

Suárez Mora, Gloria, Fazio Zegarra, Alessandra, Manzanares Medina, Eduardo 02 1900 (has links)
El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas (evidencias de validez y confiabilidad) de la ENCAO en trabajadores de una empresa privada del sector de hidrocarburos en Lima Metropolitana. Para esto, se evaluó a una muestra de 384 participantes, 64 % mujeres y 36 % hombres, con edades entre los 19 y los 56 años (M = 29.57 años, DE = 7.33). Como evidencias de validez de la estructura interna del instrumento, se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC), donde se encontró una estructura de cuatro factores relacionados (formación y cultura organizacional, aprendizaje social, aprendizaje grupal y aprendizaje estratégico individual) con los 21 ítems de la escala, los cuales explicaron el 60.33 % de la varianza total y obtuvieron adecuados índices de bondad de ajuste (χ² = 371.66; χ²/gl = 2.03; CFI = .99; RMSEA = .041). Como fuente de validez externa se obtuvieron correlaciones moderadas (entre .31 y .46) con la variable satisfacción laboral. Los coeficientes alfa de Cronbach de los cuatro factores oscilaron entre .60 y .84. Se concluye que la ENCAO y sus puntuaciones derivadas son una medida válida y fiable para medir el aprendizaje organizacional en el sector laboral evaluado. / Revisón por pares

The Role of District Leaders in Improving Achievement and Advancing Equity: How District Leaders Build Capacity

Cushing, Peter J. January 2016 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Vincent Cho / Fierce political and social pressure has intensified the demands for district leaders to narrow achievement disparities but research provides limited guidance for practice. Rorrer, Skrla, and Scheurich (2008) described a theory: district leaders should enact certain essential roles for school reform. Capacity-Building efforts of district leaders are essential to the role of Instructional Leadership. Building capacity comprises the specific actions of district leaders to improve the district’s ability to achieve complex goals. This qualitative case study explored the actions district leaders took and how they prioritized those actions to build capacity to improve student achievement. Data was collected from a single Massachusetts school district using semi-structured interviews and document reviews. This study found that leaders: established concrete learning practices (i.e. job-embedded professional development, instructional coaching model); created a supportive learning environment (i.e. establishing trust and providing time); and reinforced teacher learning (i.e. feedback and support). This study also found that leaders’ actions were driven by data. Recommendations include shifting to a data-informed decision-making process, coordination of leadership team efforts across the district and limiting initiatives to core priorities. / Thesis (EdD) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

[en] THE ESSENTIAL HUMAN DIMENSION: AN IDENTIFICATION OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE FOUNDATIONS / [pt] A DIMENSÃO HUMANA ESSENCIAL: UMA IDENTIFICAÇÃO DOS ALICERCES DO DESEMPENHO ORGANIZACIONAL

JORGE TADEU VIEIRA LOURENCO 30 August 2007 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese busca explorar a dinâmica do processo de aprendizado organizacional e melhorar o entendimento sobre o desempenho da organização, identificando os alicerces que suportam a construção e o desenvolvimento dos ativos intangíveis e considerando o crescimento do capital social, além de propor um arranjo teórico que permita uma melhor abordagem para a perspectiva de aprendizado e crescimento do Balanced Scorecard - BSC. Com a atual dinâmica, extremamente mutável e surpreendente, dos ambientes de negócios, o entendimento e a implementação de uma organização de aprendizado são condições essenciais para que elevados níveis competitivos sejam alcançados, devido à sua maior habilidade em criar ou explorar ativos intangíveis, sustentando a capacidade de sobrevivência por longo prazo com patamares excelentes de desempenho. Assim, os mecanismos de avaliação, conjugados com o conseqüente aprimoramento ou inovação dos produtos, processos, padrões e práticas de gestão, tornam-se essenciais. Muito embora a metodologia BSC venha sendo adotada por diversas organizações como solução para a realização de uma avaliação integrada do desempenho, buscando a medição da transformação dos ativos intangíveis nos resultados, ela apresenta lacunas em relação às teorias de aprendizagem organizacional aceitas e não se aprofunda em direção às raízes desses aspectos, notadamente humanos. Mediante o estudo de organizações referenciadas como excelentes para se trabalhar e organizações praticantes de BSC, pôde-se verificar a existência de correlação positiva do nível de confiança e de aprendizado com resultados excepcionais, demandando nova revisão dessa metodologia de avaliação do desempenho, a fim de adequá-la às questões essenciais para a gestão comprometida com resultados sustentáveis na nova Era do Conhecimento. Com base na análise realizada é proposta uma nova abordagem para o modelo BSC que permita explicitar essa essência, intrinsecamente humana, que serve de alicerce para a cadeia de geração de valor que culmina nos resultados organizacionais. / [en] This doctoral dissertation explores the organizational learning process dynamics in order to improve the understanding of the organizational performance formation, identifying the foundations that would support building and developing the intangible assets, considering the growth of the social capital, but also considering a theoretical concept to a better approach of the learning and growth perspective of the Balanced Scorecard - BSC. With the current dynamics of business-oriented environments, which seems changeable and extremely surprising, the understanding and the implementation of a learning organization are key factors to achieve high competitive levels, due to the greater ability in creating or exploring intangible assets that supports the organizational surviving for a long time with excellent performance levels. Thus, the appraisal mechanisms, associated with the consequent improvement or innovation of the products, processes, standards and management practices, have become essential. Although, the Balanced Scorecard - BSC methodology has been adopted for many organizations as a solution for the accomplishment of an integrated performance evaluation, including the measurement of intangible assets´ transformation into results, the BSC still presents gaps as it is related to the notorious accepted theories of organizational learning and, besides it, the BSC does not go beyond deeper inside the mainly human roots of those aspects. It was possible to verify the positive correlation of the trust level and the learning level with exceptional results, by the study of organizations known as excellent to work and others known as practitioners of BSC. These findings are claiming for a new revision into this performance evaluation methodology in order to adjust it to those essential questions for the management´s commitment with sustainable results in the new Knowledge Age. Finally, a new approach for the BSC model is proposed, as a way to explicit the human essence which serves as foundations of the value chain that ends into organizational results.

The Ever-Changing Personality: Revisiting the Concept of Triple-Loop Learning

Fahrenbach, Florian, Kragulj, Florian January 2019 (has links) (PDF)
Purpose - Considering personality as changeable through a bottom-up process of altering states, habits and traits, constitutes a shift in the predominant paradigm within personality psychology. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider Bateson's theory of learning and organizational triple-loop learning in light of this recent empirical evidence. Design/methodology/approach - This paper uses a multi-disciplinary conceptual approach. Based on an integrative analysis of literature from recent work in personality psychology, four dimensions (process, content, time and context) are identified that allow linking personality change and triple-loop learning. Findings - Identifying a bottom-up process of changing states, habits and traits as being central to change personality, allows for reconsidering Bateson's theory of learning as a theory of personality development (Learning II) and personality change (Learning III). Functionally equivalent, organizational triple-loop learning is conceptualized as a change in an organization's identity over time that may be facilitated through a change in responding to events and a change in the organization's routines. Practical implications - Interventions that change how organizations respond to events and that change the routines within an organization may be suitable to facilitate triple-loop learning in terms of changing organizational identity over time. Originality/value - This paper contributes to the discussion on Bateson's theory of learning and organizational triple-loop learning. As interest in personality change grows in organization studies, this paper aims to transfer these findings to organizational learning.

Aprendizagem organizacional na pequena empresa: proposta de um mapa conceitual / Organizational learning in small firms: proposal for a conceptual map

Moraes, Caroline Teixeira de Barros 12 March 2013 (has links)
O objetivo principal deste trabalho é construir um mapa conceitual, informado pelas Teorias de Aprendizagem Organizacional, que represente os processos de aprendizagem organizacional na realidade da pequena empresa. O tema geral da pesquisa é a aprendizagem organizacional, sobre o qual foi realizada uma busca sistemática e uma revisão do estado da arte da literatura. O tema específico da pesquisa é a aprendizagem organizacional na pequena empresa, sobre o qual ainda parece haver uma lacuna importante na bibliografia, principalmente nas publicações brasileiras. Assim, a revisão bibliográfica do tema específico foi realizada primariamente sobre o tema mais amplo pequena empresa, utilizando a abordagem segundo a qual a pequena empresa apresenta algumas especificidades que podem ser compreendidas em três dimensões: o dirigente, a organização e o ambiente. O questionamento central da pesquisa é Como mapear a aprendizagem organizacional em relação às especificidades da pequena empresa? Para responder a esse questionamento a pesquisa foi desenvolvida em três etapas: primeiramente foi construído o mapa conceitual representativo dos processos de aprendizagem organizacional encontrados na pequena empresa, partindo da revisão bibliográfica. O mapa é composto por dois construtos principais, a aprendizagem vertical e a aprendizagem horizontal, que orientaram a segunda etapa, a pesquisa de campo. Dada a natureza subjetiva do fenômeno a ser estudado foi adotada uma postura subjetivista-interpretativa. O método escolhido foi o estudo de caso instrumental único, que permite uma análise profunda o suficiente para a geração de novos conceitos, apoiada em entrevistas realizadas com todos os envolvidos nas atividades da empresa e na observação do seu cotidiano de trabalho. A empresa escolhida é uma pequena empresa de base tecnológica considerada inovadora, para aumentar a expectativa de ocorrência dos processos de aprendizagem. Para finalizar foi apresentada, na terceira etapa do trabalho, a proposta final de um mapa de aprendizagem organizacional na pequena empresa, após a verificação empírica da adequação conceitual dos construtos de aprendizagem vertical e aprendizagem horizontal. Os dados colhidos em campo confirmam a coerência interna do mapa, e indicam os principais caminhos para futuro aperfeiçoamento / The main purpose of this study was the construction of a conceptual map, informed by \"Learning Organization Theories\", representing the organizational learning processes within the reality of small firms. The main research subject was organizational learning. A systematic research and a state of the art review of the literature were undertaken. The specific research subject was organizational learning in small firms. There still seems to be a gap in the literature on this subject, mainly in Brazilian literature. Therefore, the review of the literature was performed mainly on the subject \"small business\". An approach through which small businesses present some specificities which can be understood in three dimensions: the owner-manager, the environment and the organization was employed. The main research question was: how to map organizational learning according to the specificities of small firms? In order to answer this question a three step study was designed: first a \"map\" (interpretation frame) representing the organization learning processes seen in small firms, built from the review of the literature, was developed. The map contains two main constructs: vertical learning and horizontal learning, which were, secondly, used to guide field research. Given the subjective nature of the phenomenon studied a subjective-interpretative approach was taken. A single case was chosen to allow a deep enough analysis of the concepts involved. The analysis was based on interviews of all members of the firm and on the observation of their daily activities. A technology-based, innovative business was chosen, therefore, to increase the likelihood of learning processes taking place. Thus, on the third stage of the study a final proposal for a conceptual map of organizational learning in small firms was developed, after the empirical evaluation of the conceptual fit of the vertical and horizontal learning constructs. Field data confirmed the internal coherence of the map and indicated possible paths for future development

Avaliação e aprendizagem: estudo sobre negócios sociais do Estado de São Paulo / Evaluation and learning: São Paulo State social businesses study

Siqueira, Ana Carolina Ferreira de 10 October 2017 (has links)
Os negócios sociais são um fenômeno em expansão no Brasil e no mundo.Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral investigar e analisar se os negócios sociais utilizam práticas de avaliação e se isso gera processos de aprendizagem organizacional, tomando por objeto de estudo organizações que atuam no Estado de São Paulo. Na pesquisa bibliográfica, diversos conceitos de negócios sociais foram identificados, porém, não foram encontradas visões definitivas sobre como avaliar tais organizações. A literatura sobre aprendizagem organizacional também ofereceu insumos à pesquisa. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foi usada metodologia de estudo de casos múltiplos, com coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas e análise documental, que se mostrou adequada devido à necessidade de compreensão do contexto das organizações e ao fato de a literatura sobre o tema ainda estar em estágio exploratório. A escolha dos casos se deu a partir de sugestões de fundos de investimento. Em um primeiro momento, os fundos foram contatados e entrevistados, depois indicaram para a pesquisa negócios sociais com os quais se relacionavam, além de duas organizações de avaliação do campo, totalizando quatorze organizações pesquisadas. Os principais resultados deste estudo são: a) caracterização dos negócios sociais que avaliam: destacou-se uma concentração na área de saúde e o alcance ou intenção da sustentabilidade financeira; b) análise das avaliações: elas são principalmente sobre aspectos tradicionais, como operacional e financeiro e acontecem de maneira informal; c) caracterizar se os processos de avaliação geram aprendizagem: sim, os aprendizados acontecem em vários momentos, mas induzidos também por diversos outros fatores além da avaliação, tais como tentativas e erros; d) principais barreiras e dificuldades para a avaliação: dificuldades técnicas nas avaliações sociais e custo em geral. Os negócios sociais pesquisados utilizam práticas de avaliação, mas isso nem sempre gerou aprendizados reconhecidos pelos respondentes. Uma sugestão de pesquisa seria um estudo de caráter qualitativo que investigasse porque essas avaliações não geram todo o aprendizado que poderiam de acordo com a literatura (FRANCO-SANTOS et al., 2007) e o que precisaria mudar para que isso acontecesse.A contribuição teórica dessa pesquisa é uma maior compreensão dos fenômenos de avaliação e aprendizagem nos negócios sociais. A contribuição empírica consiste na indicação de que talvez seja necessário desenvolver o campo em outros aspectos até ele estar maduro o suficiente para executar e tirar benefícios de avaliações. A contribuição de ensino é o questionamento da avaliação como premissa para aprendizagem e melhorias organizacionais. / Social businesses are a phenomenon in expansion in Brazil and worldwide. This study aims to analyze whether social business working in the state of São Paulo use evaluation practices and, from that, if they experience organizational learning processes. In literature review, different social business concepts have been identified, but there were no definite views on how to evaluate such organizations. The literature on organizational learning and business ecosystem were also reviewed to give input the research. In order to reach the proposed objective, a multiple case study methodology was used, with data collection through interviews and documentary analysis, which was justified by the need to understand the context of organizations and the fact that a literature on the subject is still in an exploratory stage. The cases choice was based on investment fund suggestions. Initially, the funds were contacted and interviewed, then they indicated social business they invested on to be researched, in addition to two field evaluation organizations, totaling fourteen researched organizations. The main results of this study were: a) characterization of the social businesses that evaluate: a concentration in the health area and the reach of the intention of the financial sustainability; b) Analysis of evaluations: they are mainly informal about tradition aspects such as finance and operations; c) To identify if the processes of evaluation generate learning: yes, the learnings take place at several moments, but also induced by several other factors besides the evaluation, such as trial and error; d) Main barriers and difficulties for evaluation: technical difficulties of social evaluations and cost in general. The businesses researched evaluate their performance, but it did not always generated learning recognized by respondents. A research suggestion would be qualitative investigation to discover why assessments did not lead to learning in a better way as literature suggests (FRANCO-SANTOS et al., 2007) and what would need to change for this to happen. The theoretical contribution of the research is an early understanding of the phenomena of evaluation and learning in business. The empirical contribution is the indication that it may be necessary to develop the social business ecosystem in other aspects until it is mature enough to perform and benefit from evaluation. The contribution for teaching is questioning evaluation as a premise for learning organizational and improvements.

Análise de processos de aprendizagem individual e organizacional em empresas incubadas de base tecnológica / Analysis of individual and organizational learning processes in technology-based incubated startups

Silva, Flávia Helen Moreira da 12 March 2019 (has links)
As empresas de base tecnológica, especialmente em fase inicial, têm a sua capacidade de criar valor de mercado em função das competências que estão incorporadas nas figuras dos empreendedores. Torna-se importante, portanto, analisar os processos que canalizam sistematicamente a aprendizagem individual para o nível organizacional e que, assim, criam novas estruturas, sistemas, procedimentos e rotinas e estratégias nas startups. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar os processos de mobilização e transferência de competências de empreendedores, para a promoção da aprendizagem organizacional de empresas incubadas de base tecnológica. Para este objetivo geral ser alcançado, foram traçados três objetivos específicos, que determinaram a divisão do estudo em três etapas sequenciais. Os objetivos foram: 1) mapear as competências de empreendedores com startups de base tecnológica incubadas; 2) identificar quais são as competências mais aplicadas no negócio e processos de socialização e codificação mais utilizados em cada uma delas, de acordo com a visão dos empreendedores e, por último, 3) descrever os processos de mobilização, socialização e codificação de competências empreendedoras. Foram definidas 10 dimensões gerais de competências empreendedoras, a saber: planejamento em curto prazo, planejamento em longo prazo, liderança, gestão administrativa, relacionamento, visão empreendedora, aprendizagem empreendedora, maturidade, comprometimento e inovação. Estas dimensões são representativas de empreendedores no contexto de incubação, ou seja, em estágios iniciais, e retratam a relevância da aplicação de algumas (comprometimento, aprendizagem empreendedora e relacionamento) em detrimento de outras (liderança e planejamento em longo prazo). O mecanismo de socialização através de conversas informais foi apontado como o mais utilizado para a transferência de competências para a promoção de aprendizagem organizacional. Por outro lado, na análise dos episódios críticos de aprendizagem foi possível notar que os processos de codificação através de mudanças em práticas e políticas organizacionais também são frequentes, e por muitas vezes estão relacionadas às competências de inovação. Os episódios críticos de aprendizagem foram úteis para analisar o processo de aprendizagem que se dá a partir da aquisição da competência individual até a sua tradução para o nível organizacional da startup. Este estudo contribui para mitigar lacunas no que diz respeito aos processos de aprendizagem em empresas em estágios iniciais / Technology-based companies, especially in the initial phases, have the abilities to create market value according to the entrepreneurs skills. It is therefore important to analyze the processes that systematize the individual learning to the organizational level and thus create new structures, systems, procedures and routines and strategies in the startups. The objective of this study was to analyze the competencies mobilization and transfer processes for the promotion of organizational learning of the incubated technology-based startups. To achieve this general objective, three specific objectives were defined, which determined the division of the study into three sequential stages. The objectives were: 1) to map the competencies of entrepreneurs with incubated technology-based startups; 2) identify which are the competencies most applied by the entrepreneurs and the socialization and codification processes most used for each of them, according to the entrepreneurs\' perception and, finally, 3) describe the processes of mobilization, socialization and codification of entrepreneurial competencies. Ten general dimensions of entrepreneurship skills were defined: short-term planning, long-term planning, leadership, administrative management, relationship, entrepreneurial vision, entrepreneurial learning, maturity, commitment and innovation. These dimensions are representative of entrepreneurs in the context of incubation, that is, in the initial stages, and portray the relevance of the application of some (commitment, entrepreneurial learning and relationship) to the detriment of others (leadership and long-term planning). The mechanism of socialization through informal conversations was pointed out as the most used for the transfer of competences for the promotion of organizational learning. On the other hand, in the analysis of the critical episodes of learning it was possible to note that the processes of codification through changes in organizational practices and policies are also frequent, and are often related to innovation skills. Critical learning episodes were useful to analyze the learning process from the acquisition of individual competence to its translation to the organizational level of the startup. This study helps mitigate gaps in learning processes of early-stage companies
