Synopsis
How can organizations foster the innovation and learning so central to their survival and success? This stimulating and accessible book argues that effective organization is the process of collaborative learning - drawing on and developing the capacity of every member of an organization to ′know beyond′ existing parameters and experience. In this context organizational diversity is not a disadvantage to be overcome but a key resource facilitating creativity and learning.
Part One focuses on people. It explores the range of contributions and knowledge that different individuals and groups bring to organizations and the importance of appreciating and working with diversity. The second part is concerned with joint practice. Innovation will only occur when diverse individuals work successfully in teams and can learn from the results of their actions. The principles of effective team working are examined including the interaction of context, tasks, team roles and processes. Finally, the authors consider knowing and learning as organizational process. They present their model of this process including the role of information technology. They also address the crucial need to encourage individual development, and to create conditions within which learning and innovation can flourish throughout an organization.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
