How do organizations learn, change, and adapt? The study of
"organizational learning" allows researchers to map an
organization's
past behavior and gain insight into how stream of experience
becomes
a basis for action in the present. The chapters in
Organizational
Learning, all from first-rate researchers, contribute to the
development of organizational learning theory in three ways.
They
delineate its scope, differentiating it from ecology, choice,
and
individual learning. They demonstrate the explanatory power of a
learning perspective, and they illustrate the application of
research
tools useful for studies of learning.
Organizational Learning is an essential resource for scholars
and
researchers in the field of organization and management studies.
