Strategic Learning in a Knowledge Economy : Individual, Collective and Organizational Learning Processes (Knowledge Reader)

Rating:
Summary: A Useful Collection
Review: This collection of 15 papers is written, with a few exceptions, primarily for an academic audience and to academic standards. Although it covers very similar territory to that in Sydänmaanlakka: An Intelligent Organization, it is much less approachable for the general managerial reader. On the other hand, the individual articles go into substantial depth, with a wealth of references. The collection will be valuable to Human Resource and Organizational Development practitioners.

Some of the articles are by 'great names' in the field including:

* Prahalad and Hamel on core competence
* Leonard-Barton (Leonard) on the factory as a learning laboratory
* Brown and Duguid on communities of practice
* Isaacs on dialogue and organizational learning
* Argyris on teaching smart people how to learn
* Kolb on the process of experiential learning.
