Programmed, autonomous-formal and spontaneous organizational learning
Article Abstract:
The article examines programmed organizational learning and autonomous-formal organizational learning. The relative emphasis these receive depend on management philosophy and institutional characteristics such as franchisee status and professionalization. A dispersed form, spontaneous organizational learning, is also examined, and found to be attenuated when knowledge was regarded as a commodity.
