Abstract

Purpose This study aims to analyze the organizational learning capability relationship with operational performance and frugal innovation across Brazilian companies. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative research was performed using collected data from 154 firms, which were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The results showed that organizational learning capability is an antecedent of frugal innovation. The results also predict a better operational performance for companies that actively innovate cost-effectively. Another result was the positive relationship between the organizational learning capability and the operational performance. The authors found that the indirect and positive relationship between organizational learning capability, frugal innovation and operational performance was confirmed, reinforcing the literature. Research limitations/implications A theoretical implication of this study can be seen in the establishment of the relationship between organizational learning capability, frugal innovation and operational performance since no studies linking these variables together were found. Therefore, the organizational learning capability and the frugal innovation can be considered facilitators of the operational performance. Practical implications Managers should consider organizational learning and frugal innovation when thinking about firms’ operational performance. In this way, to facilitate and achieve higher performance, it was found that organizational learning capability and frugal innovation have a great deal of impact on operational performance. Social implications At frugal innovation, the needs of citizens are prioritized. It is a great instrument to face crises since it consists of developing simpler and cheaper products and services quickly, making them accessible to a larger group of consumers. Originality/value This study seeks to understand whether Brazilian companies are moving toward a more frugal innovation strategy. The study opens the possibility of showing whether the organizational learning capability has also impacted this change.

节俭创新与经营绩效:组织学习能力的作用
目的本研究旨在分析巴西企业的组织学习能力与运营绩效和节俭创新的关系。设计/方法/方法使用从154家公司收集的数据进行定量研究,并使用结构方程建模进行分析。研究结果表明,组织学习能力是节俭创新的前提。研究结果还预测,那些积极进行成本效益创新的公司会有更好的运营业绩。另一个结果是组织学习能力与运营绩效之间存在正相关关系。作者发现,组织学习能力、节俭创新和运营绩效之间存在着间接和积极的关系,这对文献进行了补充。研究局限性/含义本研究的理论含义可以从建立组织学习能力、节俭创新和运营绩效之间的关系中看出,因为没有发现将这些变量联系在一起的研究。因此,组织学习能力和节俭创新可以被认为是运营绩效的促进者。实际含义管理者在考虑公司的运营绩效时,应该考虑组织学习和节俭创新。通过这种方式,为了促进和实现更高的绩效,研究发现组织学习能力和节俭创新对运营绩效有很大影响。社会含义在节俭的创新中,公民的需求是优先考虑的。它是应对危机的一个伟大工具,因为它包括快速开发更简单、更便宜的产品和服务,使更多的消费者能够获得这些产品和服务。独创性/价值本研究旨在了解巴西公司是否正在朝着更节俭的创新战略发展。该研究开启了显示组织学习能力是否也影响了这一变化的可能性。
