Abstract

The behaviour of managers oriented to learning from action is reviewed, and analysed in relation to the work of Kolb, Honey and Mumford. It is proposed that there is a difference between action and experience. The steps necessary to convert action into experience are defined, following an examination of blockages and defensive routines.
