The learning organization: Model of organizational structure or the characteristic of the organization |
The paper draws on the dilemma of whether a learning organization is a new model of organizational design, or is just a composite of certain characteristics which need to be developed in the existing and, within literature and practice, known models of organizational structure. The author approaches this dilemma by trying to explain the concept of organizational learning, on which the phenomenon of learning organization is based, the learning types and processes, and consequently suggesting in that way a logical conclusion. The starting point of the paper is that the construct »learning organization« refers to the description of the characteristics of the model, and not on the model per se.
