Can anyone therefore provide me with a succinct account of the
difference between the term 'Learning Organisation' & 'Organisational
Learning':
As a guide to my dilemma here are questions whizzing around
in my head.
1) Is the former necessarily about type/ideal;
and the latter about 'process'?
2) Is it possible for one to exist without the other
(ie Organisational learning in a non-LO)?
3) To what extent does OL have to permeate an organisation
before it is acknowledged as an LO ?
Finally, I have made a number of requests to this group either
for info. on relevant literatures or to open a discussion
regarding the role of conflict in LO/OL-
to no avail. DO I take it then that conflict is not currently
perceived by LO leading lights as being critical to the field's
devlopment or the constructs internal validity?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Initially please reply to my e-mail address- at a later date I will
provide a synopsis of your responses to the list.
