 Academic Contribution to Innovation During Crisis Periods


The study titled “Restructuring Through Organizational Resilience During the Crisis Period: The Effects of Organizational Learning Capabilities on Product Innovation in Exporting Firms,” authored by Asst. Prof. Derya ÇELİK and Asst. Prof. Aybige Özer Koçak, was published in the 2026/1 issue of Researches on Multidisciplinary Approaches, a Scopus-indexed journal.


The study examines the restructuring processes of exporting firms during crisis periods within the framework of Dynamic Capabilities Theory; it empirically investigates the impact of organizational learning capabilities on product innovation and the role of organizational resilience in this relationship.
 
Key Findings:
• Organizational learning capabilities positively and significantly affect product innovation.
• Organizational learning increases organizational resilience.
• Organizational resilience does not show a moderating effect in the relationship between learning and product innovation. 
• Organizational resilience plays a full mediating role in the relationship between learning and product innovation.
 
The findings reveal that sustainable competitive advantage during times of crisis depends not only on learning capacity but also on transforming this capacity into organizational resilience. The study makes significant contributions to the literature, both theoretically and practically.
