| contents | Learning curve? Which one? Paulo Prochno Administración y Contabilidad new settings Learning curves knowledge development Learning curves have been studied for a long time. These studies provided strong support to the hypothesis that,as organizations produce more of a product, unit costs of production decrease at a decreasing rate (see Argote,1999 for a comprehensive review of learning curve studies). But the organizational mechanisms that lead tothese results are still underexplored. We know some drivers of learning curves (ADLER; CLARK, 1991;LAPRE et al., 2000), but we still lack a more detailed view of the organizational processes behind those curves.Through an ethnographic study, I bring a comprehensive account of the first year of operations of a newautomotive plant, describing what was taking place on in the assembly area during the most relevant shifts of thelearning curve. The emphasis is then on how learning occurs in that setting. My analysis suggests that the overalllearning curve is in fact the result of an integration process that puts together several individual ongoing learningcurves in different areas throughout the organization. In the end, I propose a model to understand the evolutionof these learning processes and their supporting organizational mechanisms. 2004 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84110105 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.1 |
