• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The objective of this work is to identify the
features of the learning organizations, and to map
and generalize the patterns on the example of
Estonian organizations.
The work is based on three published peer-reviewed
research papers, including a thorough theoretical
and empirical background of the subject, presenting
various concepts of learning organization, and
general methodology of exploratory approach.
To map the features of the learning organization in
Estonian educational establishments and companies,
several questionnaires were developed based on the
five disciplines of the learning organization by
Senge and the three-dimensional framework model of
organization by Mets. The data obtained from these
questionnaires was processed using factor analysis.
The features of the learning organization are seen
as patterns.This result corresponds best to Mets
three-dimensional organization development framework
model.
The practical value of the study derives from its
contribution to improvement of management practices
and the creation of further opportunities for the
achievement of higher performance in these
organizations.
