The Learning Organization: Developing Democracy at Work - Tapa blanda

Practical and provocative, this book by one of the world's experts in management education offers a fresh perspective on the way organizations work. *Bob Garratt proposes a theory of organizations as 'learning systems' in which success depends on the ability of managers to become 'direction-givers' and on the organization's capacity for learning continuously. *As well as considering the work of other business thinkers, Garratt employs a wide range of experimental models and graphic illustrations to demonstrate both the stagnation which results from the absence of these skills, and the dramatic effects of their positive implementation. *Fully revised and with a new introduction, The Learning Organization is a seminal work - exciting, informative and a challenge to all directors, management educators and the business community at large.
