organizational learning

organizational learning
Gen Mgt
a culture of change and improvement within an organization, characterized by employee enthusiasm, energy, and high levels of creativity and innovation. In their book Organizational Learning (1978), Chris Argyris, and Donald Schön suggest that if a number of employee development activities are in progress within an organization, a sense of organizational movement and development can be achieved, and that with the right encouragement, support, and reward, this can become self-perpetuating. The concept of organizational learning was further developed by Peter Senge, and repopularized as the learning organization.
