Resum

La literatura sobre l’aprenentatge organitzatiu ha estat descrita com a «volcànica» (Easterby- Smith, Crossan i Nicolini, 2000) pels continus estudis existents sobre el seu constructe i pels que tenen com a tema principal les teories organitzatives (Prange, 1999). No obstant això, existeixen controvèrsies en la definició i conceptualització d’aquest terme (Crossan, Lane i White, 1999; Templeton, Lewis i Snyder, 2002). En aquest article es descriu l’evolució de la teoria de l’aprenentatge organitzatiu en les teories de les organitzacions que aprenen i el seu consegüent impacte en el coneixement. Sens dubte, les bases de l’organització que aprèn o de la capacitat d’aprendre de les organitzacions ajuden els líders a transformar l’aprenentatge organitzatiu en capacitats organitzatives. L’article conclou amb el rol de l’aprenentatge informal entès com a estratègia per crear una cultura d’aprenentatge i per potenciar el coneixement.

Paraules clau

organitzacions que aprenen, coneixement, aprenentatge informal
