“…The relevance of learning orientation is emphasized in strategy literature because it renews a firm’s basic skills, improves new product creation, and makes the firm efficient enough to respond rapidly to any technological change or disruption (Schilling, 1998). According to Duncan (1979), the learning capacities of the company are the process by which information about action-outcome linkages and the impact of the environment on these relationships is created. When we talk about learning, we are talking about both the know-how and basic capabilities and the level to which a company can acquire new knowledge-absorptive capacity.…”

PurposeThe study aims to analyze factors impacting firms’ success and persistence in a digital platform competition using the structure-conduct-performance (SCP) framework. The study also includes real-life cases that are beneficial to academicians and practitioners to understand and develop strategies for success and persistence during uncertainty.Design/methodology/approachA literature review to identify the factors that impact success and persistence in a digital platform competition was conducted following Webster and Watson (2002). Findings were integrated into a SCP framework to examine and understand the identified factors’ relational impact.FindingsWhile analyzing factors under the SCP framework, all factors were divided into three categories: those impacting positively, those impacting negatively and those with ambiguous impact on the success and persistence in digital platform competition. Digital platform firms can exploit the positively impacting factors to increase market share by being distinctive from other digital platform firms and becoming dominant by withstanding competition. On the other hand, negatively impacting factors increase barriers to entry, intensify competition and reduce the distinctiveness of digital platform firms. Lastly, a few factors may have either a positive or a negative impact depending upon the particular characteristics of the firm/industry.Research limitations/implicationsThe study opens the scope for future research on empirically testing the developed conceptual framework and relationships by developing propositions to posit the possible impact of these factors on digital platforms’ success and persistence.Originality/valueThe study contributed to the existing literature by using SCP framework to analyze the factors affecting firm’s success and persistence in a digital platform competition. Also, the study has discussed the relational impact of factors rather than their impact in isolation.

“…For instance, Fiol and Lyles (1985) contend that learning involves developing insights on the associations between past actions, their effectiveness, and future actions (Fiol & Lyles, 1985). Another definition of learning (Dekker & Hansén, 2004) links the cognitive functions involving acquiring insights (Duncan, 1979) with a behavioral dimension such as structural adaptations (much like neuroplasticity) which encode or institutionalize organizational knowledge and insights (Simon, 1996). Argyris and Schön (1997) have further distinguished between processes of organizational learning which are single‐loop, allowing for problem‐solving and continuation of activities, or double‐loop, forcing internal re‐evaluation of policies or objectives (Argyris, 2004).…”

Affordable housing that incorporates sustainability goals into its design has the potential to address both health and economic disparities via enhanced energy‐efficiency, structural durability and indoor environmental quality. Despite the potential for these win‐win advances, survey data of U.S. local governments indicate these types of equity investments remain rare. This study explores barriers and pathways to distributional equity via energy‐efficient housing. Using archival city sustainability survey data collected during a period of heightened U.S. federal investment in local government energy‐efficiency programs, we combine machine learning (ML) and process‐tracing approaches for modeling the complex drivers and barriers underlying these decisions. First, we ask, how do characteristics of a city's organizational learning methods—its administrative structure, past experience with housing programs, resources, stakeholder engagement and planning—predict policy commitments to green affordable housing? Using ensemble ML methods, we find that three specific modes of organizational learning—past experience with affordable housing programs, seeking assistance from neighborhood groups and the technical expertise of professional green organizations—are the most impactful features in determining city commitments to constructing green affordable housing. Our second stage uses process‐tracing within a specific case identified by the ML models to determine the ordering of these factors and to provide more nuance on green‐housing policy implementation.

“…In considering the dynamic relationship between driving and resisting forces in the development of strategies for change, Lewin argued that it was not sufficient to consider just one set of forces, but both sets of forces needed to be considered ‐ perhaps simultaneously treating both resisting forces and strengthening the driving forces. Lewin’s conceptual framework is well‐known in the change literature, and has been added to by many theorists[14, 15, 16]. In the main these additions have been to flesh‐out the components of the system and underline the need to regard the outcomes of the change process as a feedback loop, reigniting the change process anew.…”
