Abstract: The concept of organizational learning has taken its prominence in the past several decades as a way to achieve competitive advantage.

“…Many scholars have linked organic renewal structures, designed to cope with fast-changing external environments, to organizational learning (Hong, 1999), organizational renewal (Ferguson-Amores et al (2005), the development of knowledge management facilities (Bennett and Gabriel, 1999), and knowledge creation (Spender, 1989(Spender, , 2006.

"All learning takes place inside individual human heads; an organization learns only in two ways: (a) by the learning of its members, or (b) by ingesting new members who have knowledge the organization didn't previously have" (Simon, 1996, p. 176).…”
