| Abstract: | The study develops and tests a measure of organizational learning capacity (OLC) using the purchasing process of a Fortune 500 multinational corporation. The focus is on the activities and relationships between the strategic business units (SBUs) and the buying center of the organization. Based on a domestic sample of 179 SBUs used for the reliability and validity analysis, the results indicate that the covariation among the proposed 17 items of the OLC scale can be explained by a correlated four-factor measurement model including team, systems, learning, and memory orientations. |
