Description
Strategic Learning in a Knowledge Economy defines unique and powerful ways that organizations can foster learning at the individual, group
and organizational levels, a capability critical to both strategic objectives and business performance. The book explains how individuals
and organizations learn, clarifying cognitive and social aspects of the topic. Readers will understand how learning enables organizations
and individuals to better create, assimilate, and transfer knowledge.
Strategic Learning in a Knowledge Economy helps managers create
individual and collective processes that maximize the quality of the knowledge created and learned and ensures this knowledge is effectively
used. The book appropriately redefines the frequently narrow and technology-oriented view of learning and explains how an effective learning
strategy ensures that a broad base of employees learn and implement vital organizational lessons. Strategic Learning in a Knowledge Economy
features focused discussions of organizational core competencies, learning and innovation, communities of practice, assessing organizational
learning capabilities, and other important learning topics.
This authoritative compendium helps readers master organizational issues
crucial in today's knowledge economy by:
