Theory to Practice: Action Learning

摘要

Action learning was introduced in the 1940s when Reg Revans implemented action learning in the coal mines of Wales (Revans, 1982). Only recently, however, has action learning become a vital tool in the workplace, not only for solving complex problems but also for developing leaders and building teams (Kramer, 2008; Marquardt, 2004; Raelin, 2009). The October 10, 2005, issue of BusinessWeek described action learning as one of the key management development programs introduced during the past 125 years.
