What are the primary differences between an organisation designed for efficient performance and one designed for learning and change? Discuss which type of organisation do you think would be easier to manage.
What are the benefits of learning organisations? What would be required to change an organisation into a learning organisation?
An organisation is a social unit of people that is structured and manage to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. In our topic today, we will try to bring out the primary difference between organisation designed for efficient performance and the one designed for learning and change then we will move a little bit deeper to Learning Organisation by presenting the benefits – change as well can be brought …show more content…
Daft we can easily identify those two organisations. For a long time Organisations designed for efficient performance have known a lot of success in his management. Their legal control System and respect of hierarchy from top to bottom make them an organisation of reference. These organisations are devoted to precision - it seems failures are not accepted. Richard defines efficient performance organisation terminologies with precise words: Efficiency – amount of resources used to achieve the organization’s goals. Effectiveness – the degree to which an organization achieves its goals. Stakeholder Approach – balancing the needs of groups in and outside of the organization that has a stake in the organization’s …show more content…
The process of learning does not consist of a linear sequence of steps, rather it consists of sporadic and circular processes, where it is hard to identify what makes a possible innovation arise, and whether internal or external knowledge sources caused that idea to arise. It is not the intention here to account for all processes and mechanisms in the learning process, rather it is to focus on some of the assumed essential categories of organisational mechanisms (those contributing to minimising decay of knowledge, and to attracting and acquiring new knowledge) that influence the learning process, and to discuss how these organisational mechanisms may possibly be optimally designed to most efficiently promote learning (Tina Brandt Husman , May
