The Oxford Handbook of Group and Organizational Learning

Groups and organizations vary dramatically in their ability to learn. Some acquire substantial knowledge as a function of experience, while others do not. Failing to learn from experience can have significant consequences for organizations and their members. The goal of this handbook is to bring together cutting-edge theoretical and empirical work on group and organizational learning by leading scholars from several disciplines. The handbook advances understanding of the causes and consequences of learning in collectives of varying size and complexity. The handbook provides insights about how to overcome barriers to learning in groups and organizations and thereby, to improve their performance.
