Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2000.

Contemporary management theory, business school curricula, and practitioner oriented advice has what I call a “success bias,” with a strong focus on how firms can learn from successful firms through the adoption of their best practices. In my dissertation I pursue the alternative notion that failure by other organizations can also have a positive value to organizational performance.

520 $a Contemporary management theory, business school curricula, and practitioner oriented advice has what I call a “success bias,” with a strong focus on how firms can learn from successful firms through the adoption of their best practices. In my dissertation I pursue the alternative notion that failure by other organizations can also have a positive value to organizational performance.
520 $a Theories of interorganizational learning imply that failure of a subset of firms in a population may produce “survival-enhancing learning” by other firms that observed the failure. They also imply that near-failure (defined as being on the brink of failure followed by recovery) may have even greater value under some circumstances. I examined these claims systematically by using a sample of all of the 2,724 FDIC-insured U.S. commercial banks chartered since 1984 over a 15-year period (1984–1998). Additionally, I explore the role of competitive dynamics and different dimensions of proximity in the interorganizational learning process.
520 $a Results support theories of interorganizational learning from failure by providing evidence that failure and near-failure experience of others can produce “survival-enhancing learning” by remaining firms. Specifically, I find that industry near failure experiences enhanced survival-enhancing learning, while industry prior failure experiences do not. Results also show that failure and near failure experience in a related but separate industry influences survival-enhancing learning in banks. Viewed as a whole the pattern of results point to potentially conflicting influences of the visibility versus applicability of vicarious experience and to a complicated relationship between the effects of interorganizational learning and competitive dynamics among firms.
520 $a My dissertation contributes to theories of vicarious learning by systematically examining predictions that failure can produce survival-enhancing learning, by comparing total failure to near-failure among one's own industry and competitors, and by testing inter-industry effects. It deepens the growing literature on subtle influences of interorganizational learning and special features of learning from failure versus success. It also provide valuable insight for managers who seek to obtain sustainable competitive advantage by learning from the experience of others, and to industry leaders seeking to enhance the overall survival and prosperity of groups of organizations.
