Abstract: | The authors develop a framework to access organizational learning and the depth, breadth and spread of members' involvement. Using case studies of two blue-chip companies - both cited as learning organizations, one claiming to have a democratically-oriented constitution - they illustrate how the framework may be used to assemble the data for use in testing hypotheses in more empirically-grounded studies of empowerment in learning organizations. The study compared the perspectives of top management, reflected in popular and professional publications, with grass-roots accounts from Hong Kong subsidiaries. |
