A literature review on the Learning Organisation field
was conducted, examining the dominant assumptions and
creating a solid foundation for the practical application
of the learning organisation concept to the Australian
Army. In order to examine the literature's dominant
assumptions, we asked the following questions: (i) What
are the various meanings attributed to learning
organisations?; (ii) What sorts of learnings are
privileged within the literature?; (iii) What are the key
characteristics or building blocks that make up a
learning organisation? We discovered that the learning
organisation construct represents an evolution from
bureaucratic and performance-based organisational form to
innovative and flexible organisations. In surveying the
literature, other factors found to impact on learning
organisations included cognitive, social, cultural,
technological and structural elements. For example,
learning organisations apply increasingly sophisticated
understanding of knowledge and personnel management to
best exploit their social, intellectual and knowledge
capital. In contrast, some factors are not adequately
explored in the literature; for example, the significance
of power relations, hierarchy and authority on learning
within and by organisations has not been fully
elucidated. There is an increasing number of studies
investigating the direct impact of developing a learner-
centric approach on organisational outcomes; the number
of studies linking learning to improved organisational
performance is growing. There are real, significant and
measureable benefits of developing the learning
capabilities of an organisation.
