چکیده
Why is learning by design critical in order to sustain organizational performance and competitive advantage? What are some of the views on the meaning of organizational learning? What are the basic assumptions about organizational learning mechanisms? What is the plan of the book? We have entered a new era in the evolution of organizational life in which all of us can be agents capable of transforming the direction and flow of events. The immense forces of the technological, societal, and global changes resulted in a variety of new terms and labels that attempted to capture the changing work-life reality: post-industrial society, the information revolution, the post-capital society, and the knowledge age, to mention a few.

Over the past decade thousands of companies have seized on a variety of management methods such as empowerment, business process reengineer-ing, self-managed or self-directed teams, sociotechnical systems redesign, and total quality management as a means for improving and enhancing business
