Family Businesses and the Learning Organisation. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 184
At the core of this work is an explanatory research
study that seeks to investigate the learning
strategies of family businesses in Ireland, in the
small and medium-sized enterprise sector (SME),
within the framework of the theory of the learning
organisation. There is much debate about the
benefits of becoming a learning organisation. The
benefits of adopting a learning organisation culture
are that it ensures that the business is adaptive to
changes in the environment, is reactive to
developments in markets and is proactive to
its customers needs, wants and desires. Family
businesses have the same pressures for change as
professionally managed firms. This book will be of
assistance to owner/managers of family firms, its
management and staff; academics and family business
consultants as it provides a model for the
adaptation of the learning organisation within the
family business.
