“…Environment Internal Influence effectiveness of learning processes (Fahy et al, 2014;Waring & Currie, 2009), in relation to power (Collien, 2018;Harman, 2012;Lawrence, 2005), and politics (Ferdinand, 2004) Influence of power and politics on the occurrence of learning processes (Whittle et al, 2016) External Influence patterns of learning (Miller & Lin, 2010), and benefits (Garriga et al, 2013;Nagle, 2018;Uotila et al, 2009;Zhao et al 2018) Influence learning from acquisition process (Cuypers et al, 2017;Kim & Finkelstein, 2009;Muehlfeld et al, 2012;Rothaermel & Hess, 2007;Uhlenbruck et al, 2006), learning from networks (Manring & Moore, 2006;Strøm-Andersen, 2020), and external intermediary actors (Polidoro, 2020) The external environment (macroeconomic factors) significantly influences the occurrence and effectiveness of learning processes at the intraorganizational level. Moreover, several studies have highlighted how different patterns of learning might occur in firms in relation to the external environment and the epistemologies within organizations (Miller & Lin, 2010) and how this can benefit firms differently (Garriga et al, 2013;Nagle, 2018;Uotila et al, 2009;Zhao et al 2018).…”
