Imitating the positioning rules in the bird flocking system, the strategic adjustment capacity is decomposed into three aspects, which are the organizational learning capacity from the top firms, the extent to which firms maintain or rely on the best operational capacity vector in history, and the ability to overcome the disadvantage while maintaining the advantage of the operational capacity vector from the previous years, respectively. Financial vectors are constructed to represent the results of corporate strategic adjustment and listed firms in the China A stock are chosen as the samples. As empirical analysis reveals, there is a positive correlation between the organizational learning capacity from the top firms and the firm performance and a U-shaped relation between the learning capability from the previous best operational capacity vector and the firm performance. However, no significant correlation between the inertia control ability of the current operational capacity vector of the firms and their performance improvement can be observed. This study verifies that the issue of corporate competitiveness and performance can be investigated by utilizing the principles of competition in nature. Moreover, a firm can obtain a sustainable competitive advantage by improving its ability to learn from top firms in the industry.

Growing competitiveness, joined with the frequently occurring technological changes in the global age, raise the importance of human capital in the organization, as well as the development and sharing of knowledge resources, which lead to obtaining a competitive advantage. Perez (2003) presents the human capital as one of the most complex resources for gaining control over organizations. This belief has led managers in the past to base their competitive advantage in the markets and in recruiting resources, on productrelated capitals, work processes, or technology. The human capital of employees has a high financial value and is accumulated via learning processes, which take a central role in the survival and growth of the organization. Since the 1980s, strategic managers and industrialists have identified organizational learning as the basis for obtaining a competitive advantage in the local and international markets (DeGeus, 1988). The identification and management of the knowledge resource owned by the human capital is quite difficult, since the knowledge is not perceptible and therefore influences the ability to plan activities relating to the use and sharing of knowledge (Davenport, 2001).
