Invatarea organizationala si organizatiile care invata
Organizational learning and learning organizations

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author presents the main differences between the organizational learning and the learning organization concepts. Often, the two concepts are considered synonymous, but they express different realities. Organizational learning refers to the process through which an entity employs enabling abilities to create permanent cognitive and behavioural change within a system. The changed behaviour or cognition needs to be embedded in the fabric of the organization and be evident in the organizational memory. A learning organization is an organization skilled at creating, acquiring and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behaviour to reflect new knowledge insights. The process of knowledge creation can therefore be seen as the foundation upon which the learning organization is built.
