Title: Toward reconceptualizing organizational learning: a
multidimensional interpretation
Y.L. Jack Lam, Department of Educational Administration & Policy, The
Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Abstract: Reflecting on the massive literature available on "organizational
learning" which tends to conceal rather than clarify this important concept,
the author reorders Senge's five capacities to show how individual learning
can normally be developed into collective learning. Attempts have been made
to transform Senge's work into a three-dimensional configuration, making it
more explicit as to how the process of critical information/knowledge
spreads throughout the system, and to the ultimate motives that drive an
organization into such a process. Further postulation of the stages that an
organization might have gone through during such a process is advanced. The
important roles played by external environment and by internal
organizational conditions, which may facilitate or deter the process, are
also identified.
