The Blackwell Handbook of Organizational Learning and ... (ISBN 0631226729)

Book Description:
This is the state-of-the-art, international handbook for a field of inquiry that is still emergent and yet occupies a central position in contemporary management and organization theory. Mark Easterby-Smith and Marjorie Lyles have drawn together in their authoritative reference work original essays from the leading scholars in organizational learning and knowledge management around the world.Not least in importance is the linkage they make between these two adjacent areas: learning and knowledge are often debated separately despite their close relationship. In this volume knowledge management , the most hotly debated area in business theory, is examined in relation to the processes of management learning, while the nature of organizational learning, innovation and creativity is explored in light of theories of knowledge.Tracing the roots of both debates across the disciplines of economics, psychology and social theory, and charting the key contributions scholars have made over the past decade, this is the definitive benchmark overview of the field and its future paths.All scholars of organizational learning and knowledge management will need this indispensable new reference source on their shelves.
