Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to discuss the important distinctions between organizational and individual learning.

Design/methodology/approach

Important distinctions between organizational and individual learning are explored before presenting five elements of the learning organization.

Originality/value

This paper discusses the important distinctions between organizational and individual learning.
