There is no statistically significant difference in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> resp<strong>on</strong>ses from different organizati<strong>on</strong>s. The<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>dents are quite neutral towards <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> idea <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tolerating mistakes in organizati<strong>on</strong>s (Total<br />

Mean = 3,12; SD = 1,17). Thus <strong>on</strong>e may assume that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> resp<strong>on</strong>dents ei<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r do not encounter <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

practice <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> analysing mistakes in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir organizati<strong>on</strong>s or <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y simply do not make mistakes.<br />

To sum up <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> research results, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Total Mean <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> all <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> statements in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> factors and Standard<br />

Deviati<strong>on</strong> is presented (Figure 9).<br />

As seen in Figure 9, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> highest values bel<strong>on</strong>g to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> statements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Factor 5, that focus <strong>on</strong> learning<br />

not <strong>on</strong>ly formally, but also in o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r (including organizati<strong>on</strong>al) envir<strong>on</strong>ments (total Mean = 4,28; SD=<br />

0,79). The lowest values bel<strong>on</strong>g to Factor 1 – knowledge creati<strong>on</strong> and disseminati<strong>on</strong> in organizati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

(total Mean = 2,95; SD = 1,03).<br />

These tendencies also c<strong>on</strong>firm o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r research results that have highlighted adaptive nature <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

innovative performance (ra<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r than oriented to original innovati<strong>on</strong>s), absence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> knowledge<br />

disseminati<strong>on</strong> and sharing in organizati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same or different types, etc. For instance, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

research carried out in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> frame <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> project ‘Activating Citizen’s Participati<strong>on</strong> in Creating<br />

Knowledge and Learning City by Developing Innovative Culture’ at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Institute <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Educati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

Studies, Kaunas University <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Technology, in 2003, aimed to identify <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> manifestati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> learning<br />

organizati<strong>on</strong> features in 7 organizati<strong>on</strong>s (5 <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>m n<strong>on</strong>-pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>it and 2 – pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>it organizati<strong>on</strong>s). Top-level<br />

managers and employees at <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizati<strong>on</strong>s were surveyed. The research has shown that a<br />

teaching approach to strategy formati<strong>on</strong> and employees’ involvement in this process is not<br />

characteristic <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizati<strong>on</strong>s; equal access to learning opportunities and interorganizati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
