Abstract

The most important factor that protects organizations from solidifying is knowledge. In an organization, knowledge is produced by people and these people learn. However, learning alone is not sufficient for the success of the organization. For a lasting and sustainable process, organizational learning is required. The basic condition for the realization of organizational learning is the existence of an atmosphere that encourages individuals to learn. In the organizations that provide the necessary atmosphere for learning, both the individual's learning capacity increases, and learning as a team takes place in the organization. In this study, first, knowledge, knowledge types, individual learning, organizational learning, levels of learning, and learning organization concepts are covered. Second, different models for realizing the learning organization structure are narrated. Last, some examples from learning organization practices are mentioned.
