The data collected from entrepreneurs working in technology knowledge intensive sector enables examining the practices of organisational learning that emerges in specific life cycle stages of start-ups.Findings: The research results indicate that Lithuanian technology-based start-ups use behavioural learning the most in their growth stages. Start-ups are more likely to use the error-learning approach than cognitive or action learning practices. Learning practices are accepted intuitively, later interpreted and integrated. However, Lithuanian technologybased start-ups have not yet institutionalised the benefits of organisational learning. |
