Replying to LO28265 --
Dear Michael and fellow Org Learners,
Thank you for your request. In response to it, you will find, as I have,
thousands of articles posted on the Internet. Moreover, you will find that
"The Learning Organization", can be interchanged with the term
"Organizational Learning".
Through my Doctoral research on "How Work Teams Influence Organizational
Learning", I have found the following sites useful in obtaining an array
of journal articles on both the LO & OL:
(1) http://www.brint.com/journals.htm
(2) http://www.findarticles.com
In relation to other material, the following is an extract references
which I have used to write up my Literature Reviews on my Doctoral topic:

The MIT systems staff, taking a viewpoint narrower than I prefered, has
simply let the learning.mit.edu site vanish without forwarding people to
the SoLonline.org site as they could have done. In general, urls at
learning.mit.edu can still be found at the same location in
www.SoLonline.org ..Rick]

One final matter which I would like to share with you and other Org
Learners, is my definition of Organizational Learning. I see it as: 'a
learning system within an organization which facilitates and encourages
the integration of individual learning with the learning of other
organizational members in order to improve organizational competencies for
the betterment of the organization as a whole'.
May your learning be enlightened, especially in your beautiful part of the
world of Mauritius.
Kindest regards,
Glebe Stcherbina
