Communication Technology and Organizational Learning

Abstract

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, organizational learning achieved prominence among the ideas influencing management studies. The topic has attracted increasing attention, both in academic circles (Argyris and Schön, 1978; Shrivastava, 1983; Fiol and Lyles, 1985; Levitt and March, 1988; Huber, 1991), and in business practice (Hayes et al., 1988; Pedler et al., 1990; Senge, 1990; Garvin, 1993). One of the main reasons for this is the increasing pressure for change on organizations.
