 THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION – AN ANSWER TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT?CES Working Papers, 2012, vol. 4(3), issue 3, 340-355 Abstract: In a knowledge society and a knowledge economy organizations need to have sustainable competitive advantages against their competitors, they need to innovate and to have performance. Organizational learning is a way to achieve these features, because, through organizational learning the intellectual capital of an organization can be developed. The learning organization is an ideal type of organization that learns. After briefly presenting the concepts of “learning organization”, “organizational learning”, “individual learning”, and classifications of types of learning from different perspectives, the article presents managerial adaptations, starting from the actions that an organization has to undertake in order to become a learning organization. Then, it emphasizes the fact that the learning organization is an ideal type of organization, thus managers should first make efforts in the sense of creating conditions that could enable organizational learning and then for turning the organization into a learning organization.
