Organizational Learning: Creating, Retaining &, Transferring Knowledge

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why do some organizations learn at faster rates than others? Why do organizations `forget`? Could productivity gains acquired in one part of an organization be transferred to another? Learning curves have been documented in many organizations, in both the manufacturing and service sectors. The classic learning curve model implies that organizational learning is cumulative and persists through time. However, recent work suggests that firms also demonstrate depreciation of knowledge, or `forgetting`. Suchunderstanding becomes more exciting as one looks at the link between learning and productivity. Organizational Learning: Creating, Retaining and Transferring Knowledge describes and integrates the results of research on factors explaining organizationallearning curves and the persistence and transfer of productivity gains acquired through experience. Chapter One provides an overview of research on organizational learning curves. Chapter Two introduces the concept of organizational… [detailed...]

Different ideas have emerged from different parts of the world, in different industries, at different times with different objectives.

They review an extensive literature of experiments and practical experiences through a critical evaluation of the available data to reach balanced conclusions about the importance and utility of this concept for organizations now and in the future.

Organizational Politics As Experienced In Different Organizational Structures: An Exploration of How Organizational Structure Can Impact the Political Experience of Executive Management

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Behavioral theory premises that a correlation exists between a defined set of factors and how individuals behave in their work environments. Recently, a significant shift in work structures has transpired. Traditionally, work was concentrated in formal, structured, hierarchical constructs. Today, however, the trend is a movement towards less formalized, unstructured work environments such as virtual organizations. This book explores how the organizational behavioral dynamic of power/politics may differ across traditional and virtual organizational structures. It explores this concept both from a theoretical viewpoint and in a research study using executives with experience in both organizational constructs. It concludes that a potential relationship between components of organizational structure and the way the power/politic dynamic is exhibited and perceived does exist. However, although current theory and literature would lead to an expectation that the political experience would be… [detailed...]

They analyze how these concepts work alone and in concert with each other to influence employees` perceptions of and reactions to their organizations. One argument concludes that managers use politics to compensate for the inadequacies in the current approach to human resources management, while another finds that support and justice benefit the employer, not the employee. Practitioners and scholars in human resources, organizational behavior, psychology, and business law will find new and controversial interpretations of human behavior in the workplace. [detailed...]
