Analysis of the Learning Mechanism of Learning Organization

摘要

The concept of the Learning Organisation is becoming increasingly topical within industry as organisations struggle to respond to the pressures of increased competition, greater demands from customers and a faster pace of change, often with fewer staff. The ability of a company to learn, to be flexible, intelligent and responsive to the environment is now being seen as the only way to sustain a competitive advantage. Theoretical descriptions of the learning company abound but there is little research focusing on companies who have actually applied the concepts and made them work. This case study is concerned with describing a company which has attempted to become a learning organization.
