I want assistance with the utility of the concept of the learning organization. Please be sure to address the following issues, along with presenting any other ideas about this concept that you find interesting and helpful:
Question 1. What are the properties of Avnet that make it a "learning organization"?
Question 2. To what degree does Avnet approximate the vision of the learning organization and organizational intelligence embodied in the Skyrme case? Why?
Question 3. What do you see as the major factors standing in the way of moving toward the learning organization as a normal state of affairs?
Question 4. What are the major resources that an organization interested in becoming more learning and intelligent might draw upon to facilitate this change?
Question 5. How can attention to the social networks within organizations enhance the development of organizational learning?
Question 6. What, if anything, that thinking about an "organization as a brain" adds to thinking about an "organization as a machine" and an "organization as an organism"
