Philosophy and practice of organizational learning, performance, and change

by Jerry W. Gilley

"The theoretical and practical literature in organizational development has crystallized into three schools: learning, performance, and change. Each school brings certain biases, perspectives, and insights to the understanding of how organizations - and the people within them - adapt to internal and external conditions, enhance knowledge and capabilities, and link strategic and operational objectives. In Philosophy and Practice of Organizational Learning, Performance, and Change, Gilley, Dean, and Bierema explore the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and show how they can be integrated to craft more dynamic development programs."--BOOK JACKET.
