Senge, Peter M.2018-11-142018-11-1419901990http://196.43.179.3:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1229Over the past two years, business academics and senior managers have begun talking about the notion of the learning organization. Ray Stata of analog devices put the idea succinctly in these pages last spring: "The rate at which organizations learn may become the only sustainable source of competitive advantage." And in late May this year, at an MIT-sponsored conference entiltled "Transforming organizations," two questions arose again and again. How can we build organizations in which continous learning occurs? and What kind of person can best lead the learning organization? This article, bases on Senge's recently published book, The fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization, begins to chart this new territory, describing new roles, skills and tools for leaders who wish to develop learning organizations.en-USBook
