Editorial objectives

The Learning Organization aims to bring new ideas, debate issues, introduce innovative methods and offer practical case studies to practitioners, consultants, researchers and students worldwide.

Coverage

• Case studies, illustrations and practical examples
• Discussion and review of what the learning organization is and what it does
• Research into the effectiveness of learning organization initiatives

Topicality

The shift in developed economies toward focusing on knowledge work demands an increasingly sophisticated workforce; independent thinking, the capacity for learning from experience and greater awareness of the interconnected nature of business systems. All these factors point to sea-changes in business practice, which astute companies have already recognized and are working to accommodate by becoming knowledge-intensive organizations. While much is talked about in terms of the theories of becoming a learning organization - this journal explains the conceptual underpinnings and practices; most beneficial to companies pursuing such strategies.

Key benefits

Practical examples, case histories and illustrations from international sources, show the reader how to implement the culture of learning. Thus the organization continually learns, grows in stature and transforms itself through the knowledge, capabilities and initiatives of each and every member of the workforce. Learning has often been actively discouraged in the old business culture. This journal demonstrates how learning will spearhead the success of the new business culture - companies must adapt or die.
