A survey was conducted with 120 firms that were on the list of Top 1000 Firms of Turkey and registered with the Istanbul Chamber of Industry, to examine the relationship between the dimensions of organizational learning capability and the dimensions of product innovation performance. The findings of the study indicate a positive relationship between organizational learning capability and product innovation performance.

Summary
Recent studies argue that organizational learning is a must for businesses (Garcia-Morales et al 2007) and that it represents a modern approach to management that could solve many problems which businesses encounter (Aydemir, 2000, Santos-Vijande and Alvarez-Gonzalez, 2007). In the literature on management, organizational learning capability is defined as an organizational capability that makes effective organizational learning possible by managing the process of organizational learning (Gomez et al, 2005) Innovation is another concept that has received a lot of attention in recent years. Studies on innovation usually employ a comprehensive definition that includes innovation in processes, services, structure, and management (Hult et al, 2004). Most of the existing studies were conducted in Anglo-Saxon countries, with a dearth of studies on developing economies Within this framework, the present study aims to examine the relationship between organizational learning capability and product innovation performance of manufacturing firms in Turkey, and identify the dimensions of organizational learning capability that affect product innovation performance
