Abstract: Abstract This chapter, entitled “Critical review of the concept of the learning organization and the learning enterprise,” from the third part of the book Managing learning Enterprises, entitled “Possibilities of implementing the concept of a learning organization and enterprise,” analyzes Senge’s philosophy of learning organization from the aspect of learning disciplines with the aim of establishing that it is impossible to apply the original concept without considering and applying the missing link—spirituality or spiritual practice. Based on the literature review, the complementarity of spiritual practice with the learning organization disciplines is demonstrated with the aim of providing guidelines for applying the original concept of the learning organization based on the synergistic efforts of individuals dedicated to learning and spirituality. This chapter also answers the question of previous authors as to whether the learning organization is just a myth, as well as whether the learning organization is still alive. It also refutes the thesis that spiritual practice causes passivity; on the contrary, it supports the transcendental aspirations of learning individuals and learning organizations.
