TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the link between learning capability and the improvement of business performance by comparing how the main dimensions of learning capability (stocks of knowledge and flows of learning) impact on performance, in terms of both non-financial and financial performance.
Abstract: It is widely recognized that the development of learning capability is key to achieve a durable competitive advantage. However, the analysis of the relevance of learning capability to improve business performance and, thus, the organizational competence has been insufficiently developed in literature. Based on data from 111 Spanish companies, this article explores the link between learning capability and the improvement of business performance by comparing how the main dimensions of learning capability—stocks of knowledge and flows of learning—impact on performance, in terms of both non-financial and financial performance. The results show that those organizations with the highest levels in their knowledge stocks and learning flows obtain a superior performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical analysis of 157 companies listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and 809 that are not is presented, for a period of two years, assessing the impact of environmental, social and fair governance on their stock performance.
Abstract: Conventional finance wisdom indicates that less risk leads to lower returns. Against this belief, new mathematical analysis, introduced in this article, demonstrates that companies that incorporate Environmental, Social and Fair Governance (ESG) factors show lower volatility in their stock performances than their peers in the same industry, that each industry is affected differently by ESG factors, and that ESG companies generate higher returns. The study assessed, for a period of 2 years, 157 companies listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and 809 that are not.

TL;DR: This work proposes that diseconomies can be reduced to the extent that the manufacturer is able to design modular products – i.e., it has a modular design competence (MDC) and suggests that such an effect tends to become weaker for high levels of product and process innovation.
Abstract: Integrating suppliers into new product development (NPD) projects offers manufacturers the potential for substantial improvements in the new product being designed. However, it also creates significant inter-organizational integration diseconomies that can negatively affect the manufacturing cost and performance of the designed product. We propose that these diseconomies can be reduced to the extent that the manufacturer is able to design modular products — i.e., it has a modular design competence (MDC). We also suggest that such an effect tends to become weaker for high levels of product and process innovation. We test our hypotheses on an international sample of 165 NPD projects using hierarchical linear regression. Our results provide support for the moderation effect of MDC and partial support for the weakening of this effect under high product and process innovation. We discuss the implications for the literature of buyer-supplier relationships in NPD, inter-firm modularity and product-process-supply chain design as well as practice.
