چکیده

در یک محیط آشفته و متغیر، رویکرد یادگیری استراتژیک می­تواند شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان را قادر سازد تا به‌سرعت تغییرات بازار را تشخیص داده و بر فرصت‌های نوظهور تمرکز نمایند؛ بنابراین هدف از انجام پژوهش حاضر ارائه مدلی برای شناسایی مفهوم، علل و پیامدهای یادگیری استراتژیک و درنهایت بررسی و تحلیل کمی و اعتبارسنجی آن است. در این پژوهش با استفاده از نظریه کیفی داده بنیاد و با روش نمونه‌گیری گلوله برفی، 15 تن از متخصصان شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان انتخاب‌شده و مصاحبه‌های نیمه ساختاریافته با آن‌ها صورت گرفت. داده‌ها پس از بررسی و تحلیل در قالب 52 مفهوم، 8 زیر مقوله و 4 مقوله اصلی دسته‌بندی گردیدند. مقوله‌های اصلی شامل عوامل سازمانی، عوامل محیطی، مقوله محوری و پیامدها است. سپس بر اساس مدل فرآیندی و گزاره­های حکمی به‌دست ‌آمده از مرحله اول، فرضیه­های پژوهش تدوین و در سطح کارکنان سازمان مذکور به‌صورت کمّی آزمون شد. در بخش دوم پژوهش علاوه بر تائید اعتبار مدل، متغیرهای عوامل سازمانی و محیطی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر یادگیری استراتژیک دارند. همچنین یادگیری استراتژیک تأثیر مثبت بر پیامدهای چابکی استراتژیک، توسعه قابلیت‌های پویا، زمینه‌ساز تغییر و تحول، بهبود عملکرد، رشد فروش دارد.
