Abstract: The present research paper brings evidence both from theory and practice in order to provide new insights on the learning organization's dimensions. Within the first part of the paper we approach the concept of the learning organization through a dual perspective of general and specific theory. After introducing our perception about the well-known concept of the learning organization we present in detail the main five disciplines of Senge and other contributors. The theoretical part includes the concept description and the argumentation of its scientific and practical relevance. The second part of the paper presents gradually the research scope, research methodology, research instrument, data analysis and interpretation of results. The main goal of the paper is to shape the portrait of the learning organization through argumentation of the theoretical background and the case study -analysis of the dimensions of the learning organization in pharmaceutical companies in Romania, highlighting particular aspects observed both in SMEs and large companies. The desired result is to identify a practical framework, to formulate viable recommendations for companies in Romania in order to join the learning organization philosophy. One conclusion of our work reveals that organizations that will truly excel in the future are those which will discover how to capture people's commitment and how to boost capacity to learn at all levels of the organization.
