| Abstract: | Tests the hypothesis that voluntary groups, generally, are learning organizations. Reviews the literature on non-profit organizations and concludes that many of the well-known charities, for example, have now become established hierarchies following an initial period of mission formulation and organizational evolution when they could be considered as learning organizations. Discovers that, once the primary objective has been attained and funds start to flow, the voluntary organization tends to become staffed full-time with people and the volunteer tends to become an irrelevance. |
