This study seeks to examine how organisational factors such as firm type, business model, management or leadership style and technology, structure and flow of the work, constitute an innovative learning culture. We use the idea of “learning architecture” that comprises “the organizational mechanism(s), artifacts, and human assets that the organization has constructed over time and which contribute to the type and level of learning within the organization” (Bishop, 2012, p. 516) to help us analyse, develop a framework, and identify the opportunities and support for learning and innovation in SME organisations.
