`The introduction chaper by Mark Easterby-Smith and Luis Araujo
introduces the reader to the unresolved issues with which the field is
still grappling today.... All in all, this is an interesting and
useful book for both researcher and manager alike. First, and perhaps
most importantly, the book incorporates multiple perspectives on
learning - the psychological, sociological and the philosophical...
Second, the book is neither purely theory driven, nor purely
empirically driven. Theoretical contributions are complemented by
empirical studies which help to illustrate the application of the
theoretical contructs. I suspect that this would be of immense value
to the practicing manager. Finally, the book provides a critical
commentary on the state of the field in a nice compact way which
should enhance its value to scholars in this area... a book which is
both useful and interesting′ - Organisational Studies `[M]ost

`This is a particularly interesting and useful work because it
combines some chapters which deal primarily in concepts or indeed
theories, and others which describe the experiences of trying to carry
out the practices involved in creating both/either organisational
learning and/or the learning organisation′ -Industrial and
Commercial Training ′The editors′ overall assessment is that there
has been insufficient dialogue between the two camps of action
research and theorizing.... As a contribution to mapping this divided
house, the text is an apt illustration of these problems. The
editor′s overview is of interest...′ - Stephen Gibb, University of
Strathclyde, MCB University Press The debates surrounding concepts of
`organizational learning′ and the `learning organization′ receive
a welcome synthezis in this book. International experts explore the
links between the two fields of enquiry, which hitherto, despite their
intersecting concerns, have represented separate constituencies,
literatures and perspectives. The book provides a much-needed
integrated framework of concepts and theories which draws on current
insights from management cognition, theories of knowledge and
learning, management practice and work psychology.
