Abstract

The aim of this study is to know the impact of organizational learning on competitive advantage at three levels: individual level learning, group level learning and organizational level learning By conducting a study of a sample of Algeria Telecom’s employees, and through questionnaires; the results showed a positive significant relationship between all levels of learning and the competitive advantage. When using the stepwise regression, a positive significant impact had been found between individual level learning, organizational level learning as predictors and competitive advantage on one hand; and rejecting the impact of group level learning on the other hand. Some conclusions and recommendations were suggested.
