Abstract: Using simulation research method,this research considers how information asymmetry and embeddedness influence the formation of learning network and organizational learning performance.The results indicate that,low embeddedness facilitate exploration learning while high embeddedness facilitate exploitation learning in information symmetry network.On the contrary,information asymmetry inhibit exploration learning,furthermore,the inhibit effect is stronger in embeddedness network than in random network.According to network structure,embeddedness network is higher stability than random network,information asymmetry positive to cluster coefficient.We discuss the implications and future research direction in the end.
