Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 企業管理學系 === 90 === This research studies how organizations, through internal and external learning, go about to develop core competencies. By internal learning, we derive from Huber's (1991) information theory approach, looking at the processes with which organizations acquire, distribute, store and retrieve information. By external learning, we look at how organizations acquire information and learn from strategic alliances. This research adopted the case study approach and interviewed top ranking officers from two companies, one from the automobile industry and one from the brokerage industry. We show that firms, through well-planned and well-executed strategic alliances and/ or mergers and acquisitions, as well as various information acquisition, distribution, storage and retrieval activities, are able to absorb, learn, and eventually develop core competencies.
