Synopsis
This book provides a welcome synthesis of the debates surrounding the two different concepts of 'organizational learning' and the 'learning organization'. Hitherto these concepts have represented separate constituencies, literatures and perspectives, despite, thier intersecting concerns.
Here international experts explore the links between the two fields of inquiry and develop an integrated framework of concepts and theories that draw in current insights from manaement cognition; theores of knowledge and learning; management parctice; and work psychology.
The book provides a meeting place between the two communities of academics and practitioners that does not assume a one-way traffic in concepts and theories. This is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in management and corporate strategy, as well as all those involved in management training and development.
