 note = {21st century is called as the era of “Knowledge Society”. Knowledge is increasingly recognized by modern organizations as their most important tool and basis of innovation and the indispensable source of lasting competitive advantage. China has been in the transition stage from planned economy to market economy since 1978. Generally speaking, Chinese firms’ internal and external environments have changed greatly. It is essential for Chinese firms to accumulate and create knowledge through effective organizational learning for innovation capacities and future development.
In this research, one successful case of a Chinese public corporation in the background of China’s transit economy is studied. The case company tried to make full use of its social resources, such as government authorities, universities, research institutes, to educate and train its employees, to maintain its brand fame, and to establish its own operation routines and knowledge base. Inside the enterprise, several measures were taken to establish close human networks, based on some historical heritage, such as Youth League1.
It is implied in the paper that: 1. Human network as a platform of knowledge communication is more and more important for Chinese firms’ organizational learning, especial when the learning is innovation-oriented. 2. Shared vision is an indispensable element of forming a close human network favorable for innovation-oriented learning. 3. To establish such a human network, some kind of social capital, such as historical culture, social relations, may be very helpful.},
