In this dissertation, drawing on broad theoretical frameworks of the Behavioral Theory of the Firm (BTOF), I aim to examine two, among many others, particular organizational learning processes, whose importance has yet to be fully recognized in the literature: i) learning by being imitated by other firms, and ii) learning by a bottom-up evolution of organizational structures within a firm. In the first essay of the dissertation, I study how being imitated by others can help an innovator sustain its competitive advantage. This notion sharply contrasts with the widely accepted view in the literature (often based on the resource-based view), which suggests that being imitated undermines a firm's competitive advantage. I propose that being imitated offers learning opportunities to the innovator. In the second essay, I turn to the process of intra-organizational competition as a mechanism of organizational learning. In particular, I model an organization as a group of topology-evolving neural networks. In the model, these neural networks signify different ideas of how the information-processing system of a focal firm should be structured. In the third essay, building on the model developed in the second essay, I delve into the interplay between intra-firm competition and inter-firm competition. In this chapter, in contrast with many studies, in which organizational complexity is regarded as a given property of the focal firm, I closely examine how organizational complexity endogenously emerges and evolves, responding to inter-firm competition and the market demand. The results suggest that firms tend to develop simpler organizational structures in an environment with more difficult problems, despite traditional views on organizational structures that firms facing difficult problems tend to develop more complex structures to expand their information-processing capacities.
