Editorial Reviews

Review

"In a rich dialogue of many voices, this book explores some key ideas of an emerging new management paradigm. Community, networks, feedback, self-organization, and learning are essential aspects of understanding business organizations as living systems. For managers and entrepreneurs in the twenty-first century this perspective will be vital."
Fritjof Capra, Author,
The Turning Point , 06/01/04

"This book will be referenced many times because the depth of material is profound.
Learning Organizations: Developing Cultures for Tomorrow's Workplace is a collection of essays for the serious learner involved with creating learning organizations. The essays presented by key practitioners, range from theory to models and applications, and all are thoughtful and insightful. The result for the reader is a richer understanding of what organizations may become. I strongly recommend this collection."
Herbert Rau, Total Quality Manager, National Semiconductor 06/01/04

"The authors of
Learning Organizations capture the depth, breadth, vision, and challenges inherent in the struggle for modern corporations to 'learn together as one body.' This book is a magnificent mosaic of experience, theory, and practice."
Kazimierz Gozdz, Editor,
Community Building: Renewing Spirit 06/01/04

Quality of the book is excellent
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2010
I didn't receive the published year requested of this item to provide an accurate rating. I received an earlier version of the item in which I donated the book after brief perusing through it. From what I summarize the book is composed of a collection of opinion essays from various organizational leaders in the country. There may be some lessons to learn from their opinions but in a nutshell it is just that opinions from what has been learned in the field of learning organizations. On a different note, Although I was not able to use the book but I did received it in good condition.
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2001
I've had to read a slew of leadership books for my doctorate -- as for a collection of thoughtful essays, this is one of the best. It's well organized, well laid out and has almost every major thinker represented. It's got theoretical parts, practical parts and questions for down the road. The essays span all types of learning organizations: schools, hospitals, companies, etc... It's a bit long, but if you take it piece by piece, this is a very enjoyable and informative collection. Highly recommended and well-conceived.

Thanks no issues.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2002
As far as I can see it is a book all about different perspectives, a book that adds on to the list of books that focus on the theoretical and/or philosophical sides of learning organizations. As such it is a good book, with contributions from 40 acknowledged authors/researchers.
The book is built up around four parts:
- Guiding ideas
- Theories/Methods/Processes
- Infrastructure
- Arenas of Practice
The book is packed with lots of good ideas that may form a base for further exploration in the field. Most of it is well edited, even though there is some extra "fluff" in some of the articles.
It is a good introduction to "learning organizations", but I will hesitate to call it a "how-to"-book . . . .
