| Abstract: | This paper presents a cultural and structural approach to organizational learning. The structural facet focuses on organizational learning mechanisms which are institutionalized structural and procedural arrangements allowing organizations to collect, analyze, store, disseminate and use information relevant to the performance of the organization. The cultural facet focuses on the shared values,without which these mechanisms are likely to be enacted as rituals rather than as means to detect and correct error. The paper describes how the approach deals with the problem of amthropomorphism in organizational learning and discusses its utility for researching otganizational learning and for introducing it into organizations. |
