| Abstract: | This paper investigates why so many exploratory initiatives fail and suggest the reason may be managers' tendency to under-invest in four key learning activities: searching, processing, codifying and practicing. It is explained why each of these four activities is important and why managers tend to neglect them. The study also identifies three features of the context surrounding an initiative that facilitate appropriate investments in learning. |
