- catalog abstract ""This book examines the concepts of organisational learning and the 'learning organisation' and their take-up in four contemporary work organisations in the European automotive sector. This sector is renowned for continuous change and innovation in work organisation and employment practices. In this dynamic environment, the pursuit and implementation of approaches that encourage individuals to learn and challenge existing orthodoxy are now dominant on the management agenda. Using a case-study approach, Penny West critically evaluates changes to processes, structures, cultures, and the employment relationship per se in this seemingly more inclusive and participatory arrangement." "Written for professionals such as managers and human resource developers, as well as for students of business and management completing courses in management education, organisational behaviour and learning, this book will provide practical/theoretical framework to underpin the processes of learning and change in contemporary business."--Jacket.".
