Abstract: In this study, the relationship between organisational learning (OL) and business architecture (BA) is objectively established by using three different approaches. Organisational learning for this research is characterised by using aspects like employee knowledge for development of the organisation through the process of knowledge acquisition, transition, development and synthesis whereas that of business architecture involves information and synergy between environment-strategy-structure-process-output paradigm. The present research has been carried out in the port and shipping industry of India. Data were collected through validated questionnaires and analysed by canonical correlation, bivariate correlation and stepwise regression. In all the three cases, it was found that the constructs are highly correlated as a whole as well as between individual variables.

Keywords: organisational learning; business architecture; knowledge; learning; canonical correlation; stepwise regression.
