Theory of Organizational Learning

Still a Promising area of research



We reflect on how our framework of organizational learning (OL) has been
used in subsequent research and whether a theory of OL has emerged.

Although, there is subsequent research that has added to our original work, the challenge to develop an accepted theory remains unrealized.

We identify some promising directions for developing a theory of Organization Learning.
