Does anyone expect the next twenty years to be less tumultuous than the last twenty years? Given the changes in technology, economic relationship structure and social values organizations will be confronted with an environment of increasing complexity and dynamics. The magnitude of change occurring in organizations today has led to a deep interest in the concepts of knowledge management and organizational learning. Given the importance of social relationships for acquiring and transferring information and learning how to do one’s work, the author Michael von Kutzschenbach presents insights into the role of informal structures and processes that influence organizational learning. Drawing upon new theories about social network and organizational learning, the author presents a conceptual framework that determines organizational learning capabilities by a profile that is composed of learning orientations and facilitating factors, in conjunction with types of social network structure. Written for managers and executive, this book identifies potential sources of barriers to orgnizational learning and presents strategies to overcome these barriers.
