Abstract

This study considers the potential role of organizational learning as a strategic resource in
supply chain management. A model of learning in supply management process is examined using
as a sample Greek medium and large size firms of the manufacturing sector. Organizational
learning is viewed as a composite construct arising from four tangible indicators: team-, systems,
learning-, and memory-orientations. The results indicate that learning has a positive effect on a
set of learning consequences, supply management consequences, management consequences,
and performance consequences.
