Media Reviews
A few hours spent with this book will allow any reader to catch up with the present, if not the leading edge, academic thinking on the idea of the learning organisation. There are some great business stories in here, ICL, the Post Office and BA. ... the book's worth it for part 1 alone, especially for those looking for a context in which to place their e-learning strategy.
