How do team learning behaviour and team innovativeness influence business planning success?

This research paper examines the potential influence of both team learning behaviour and team innovativeness on business planning success. Drawing on previous research and empirical data collected from 13 groups of students and 2 experts in the field of business planning, this study shows that both independent variables team learning behaviour and team innovativeness are not significantly related to business planning success. Although mentioned variables do not seem to share a relation with business planning success, one component of team learning behaviour was found to be positively significant (reflection on outcomes) and this by itself may warrant future research. However, it may prove worthwhile to research the overall question examined in this paper once again if the research limitations we were confronted with are properly dealt with. Practically speaking our results may prompt entrepreneurs to refrain from focusing on team learning behaviour or team innovativeness as a possible way to improve their business planning success.
