Learning in Organizations Summary

Learning in Organizations: Complexities and Diversities by Peter J Smith (Deakin University, Australia)

Taking a fresh and innovative approach to the complexities and challenges inherent in organizational learning diversity, the authors show that there are no generic solutions. They argue there is no 'best way' of planning, organizing and implementing learning in relation to the workplace and instead provide context-specific solutions to the dilemmas and issues that diversities present.

With an international approach, grounded in theory and incorporating strong practical examples, this book is essential reading for all those studying, teaching or practising human resource development, human resource management or professional education.

Learning in Organizations Reviews

'I found the text by Smith and Sadler-Smith extremely refreshing as it combines strong elements of academic research with an obvious underlying understanding of the realities in practice. This book tackles some complex concepts, its style is thought provoking and I found it quite enlightening. Regardless if you are an academic or practitioner, there is something in this book that will stir your thought processes.' - George Taylor, Training Manager, Rohm and Haas, Australia
