This document develops a conceptual framework and hypotheses about the relationships between organizational learning, perceptions of the external environment, and innovation performance at the individual and organizational levels. It reviews literature on organizational learning and innovation performance. The review indicates that organizational learning is positively related to perceptions of an uncertain/complex external environment and to innovation performance. However, the relationship between organizational learning and innovation performance lacks empirical evidence. The framework and hypotheses aim to address this gap by examining these relationships at both the individual and organizational levels.

A Study on Stochastic Thermal Characterization of Electronic PackagesIJERA Editor
Insofar as the electronics can be found now in several applications of multiple domains, we have tried to
highlight in this study that, those systems must be based on unquestionable reliability and meet the needs of the
external environment. Starting from the unit "°c / w" concerning the thermal resistance from the gap between
junction temperature and a reference temperature, we have tried to compare the thermal performance of
electronic packages taking into consideration the thermal management. Our approach is based on the Monte
Carlo simulation and the stochastic characterization of the QFN. From the norm of normalization, we have
obtained standardized data sheets allowing accurate comparisons of the thermal performance of electronic
packages as produced by different manufacturers. Our numerical model through simulation, prototyping
concerning the design involves the JEDEC recommendations, which we consider a very interesting alternative.
Through the deterministic analysis, we conducted an analysis from the Matlab program parameters, which
control the Ansys software, the results were processed by statistical techniques to evaluate the times of the
thermal resistance of the QFN. That is why we must consider the electronic package (encapsulating the
integrated circuit), through the printed circuit board (PCB) to ensure the junction temperature maintenance and
avoid the dissipation of the heat. Also our process was based on the union of the finite element method to the
Monte Carlo simulation and stochastic characterization of the QFN.

Lateral Load Analysis of a Building with & Without Knee BracingIJERA Editor
In last decades steel structures has played an important role in construction industry. Providing strength, stability
and ductility are major purposes of seismic design. It is necessary to design a structure to perform well under
seismic loads. Steel braced frame is one of the structural systems used to resist earthquake loads in structures.
Steel bracing is economical, easy to erect, occupies less space and has flexibility to design for meeting the
required strength and stiffness. Bracing can be used as retrofit as well. There are various types of steel bracings
such as Diagonal, X, K, V, inverted V type or chevron and global type concentric bracings. In the present study,
it was shown that modelling of the G+4 steel bare frame with various bracings (X, V, inverted V, and Knee
bracing) by computer software SAP2000 and pushover analysis results are obtained. Comparison between the
seismic parameters such as base shear, roof displacement, time period, storey drift, performance point for steel
bare frame with different bracing patterns are studied. It is found that the X type of steel bracings significantly
contributes to the structural stiffness and reduces the maximum interstate drift of steel building than other
bracing systems.

Segmentation and Classification of Skin Lesions Based on Texture FeaturesIJERA Editor
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and represents 50% all new cancers detected each year. The deadliest form of skin cancer is melanoma and its incidence has been rising at a rate of 3% per year. Due to the costs for dermatologists to monitor every patient, there is a need for an computerized system to evaluate a patient‘s risk of melanoma using images of their skin lesions captured using a standard digital camera. In Proposed method, a novel texture-based skin lesion segmentation algorithm is used and to classify the stages of skin cancer using probabilistic neural network. Probabilistic neural network will give better performance in this system to detect a lot of stages in skin lesion. To extract the characteristics from various skin lesions and its united features gives better classification with new approached probabilistic neural network. There are five different skin lesions commonly grouped as Actinic Keratosis (AK), Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Melanocytic Nevus / Mole (ML), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), Seborrhoeic Keratosis (SK). The system will be used to classify the queried images automatically to decide the stages of abnormality. The lesion diagnosis system involves two stages of process such as training and classification. Feature selection is used in the classified framework that chooses the most relevant feature subsets at each node of the hierarchy. An automatic classifier will be used for classification based on learning with some training samples of each stage. The accuracy of the proposed neural scheme is higher in discriminating cancer and pre-malignant lesions from benign skin lesions, and it attains an total classification accuracy is high of skin lesions.

Data Warehouse Model For Mobile-Based ApplicationsIJERA Editor
Analysis and design are very important roles in the Data Warehouse (DW) system development and forms as a
backbone of any successful or failure of the DW project. The emerging trends of analytic-based application
required the DW system to be implemented in the mobile environment. However, current analysis and design
approaches are based on existing DW environments that focusing on the deployment of the DW system in
traditional web-based applications. This will create the limitations on user accessed and the used of analytical
information by the decision makers. Consequently, this will prolong the adoption of analytic-based applications
to the users and organizations. This research aims to suggest an approach for modeling the DW and design the
DW system on the mobile environments. A variant dimension of modeling techniques was used to enhance the
DW schemas in order to accommodate the requirements of mobile characteristics in the DW design. A proposed
mobile DW system was evaluated by expert review, and support the success of mobile DW-based application

Area-Delay Efficient Binary Adders in QCAIJERA Editor
In this paper, a novel quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) adder design is presented that decrease the number
of QCA cells compared to previously method designs. The proposed one-bit QCA adder is based on a new
algorithm that requires only three majority gates and two inverters for the QCA addition. A novel 128-bit adder
designed in QCA was implemented. It achieved speed performances higher than all the existing. QCA adders,
with an area requirement comparable with the low RCA and CFA established. The novel adder operates in the
RCA functional, but it could propagate a carry signal through a number of cascaded MGs significantly lower
than conventional RCA adders. In adding together, because of the adopted basic logic and layout strategy, the
number of clock cycles required for completing the explanation was limited. As transistors reduce in size more
and more of them can be accommodated in a single die, thus increasing chip computational capabilities.
However, transistors cannot find much smaller than their current size. The quantum-dot cellular automata
approach represents one of the possible solutions in overcome this physical limit, even though the design of
logic modules in QCA is not forever straightforward.

To preserve food is used drying method. It was found experimentally that drying mushroom caps and legs should
be conducted at temperatures close to 52,5°C and 55,5°C, accordingly. In this case, we can get the product of the
highest quality. Statistically, we proved that the drying processes of mushroom caps are different for fixed levels
of temperature (from 40° C to 80° C, by step 10° C). At the same time, at higher temperatures, the nature of the
process changes abruptly. Based on the experimental data, the polynomial regression model was built. This
model can used for estimating and forecasting a specific evaporation heat at the optimal temperature
Finite Element Simulation of Steel Plate Concrete Beams subjected to ShearIJERA Editor
In a test series ofSteel plate Concrete (SC) beams conducted by the authorsto determine the minimum shear
reinforcement ratio, complex structural behavior of the tested beams was observed, including shear cracking
occurred within the concrete in the web and bond-slip failure of the bottom steel plate of the beam due to
insufficient shear reinforcement ratio (Qin et al. 2015).This paper focuses on finite element simulation (FEM) of
the SC beams withemphasis on shear and bond-slip behavior. A new constitutive model is proposed to account for
the bond-slip behavior of steel plates. Also, the Cyclic Softened Membrane Model proposed by Hsu and Mo
(2010)is utilized to simulate the shear behavior of concrete with embedded shear reinforcement. Both constitutive
models areimplemented into a finite element analysis program based on the framework of OpenSees (2013).The
proposed FEM is able to capturethe behavior of the tested SC beams.

The objective of this research is to study the stability of set yoghurt during its shelf life in different storage and
distribution conditions of temperature and time span. Yoghurt samples were collected starting from factory gates
though distribution and storage locations for period of 21 days. Titratable acidity, pH, temperature, wheying off
and microbiological characteristics of the set yoghurt samples were investigated using standard method set by
Sudanese standard and metrology organization and other internationally recognized methods. The results
showed that the pH- values decreased progressively (4.50 – 4.29) and the titratable acidity significantly
increased (0.97%– 1.37%) during the specified period of 21 days. There was a significant increase in wheying
off of the set yoghurt samples at the end of storage period especially for the off road transported samples and it
reaches 5.78ml/400gm which could be attributed mainly to shaking and heat during transportation. The E.coli,
yeast and mold recorded no growth in all samples of set yoghurt under the specified storage conditions except in
the 21st day in samples collected from small groceries and long distance transported samples. It could be
concluded that storage and distribution conditions had significant effects on all set yoghurt properties at the end
of their storage period. The study recommended that processing , distribution and storage conditions stipulated
by Sudanese standard and metrology organization are to be strictly followed to allow the shelf life to be
extended far after the specified period of 10 days recommended by the same organization. It is also
recommended to conduct further studies on the issue and to disseminate the culture of preserving food products

Organisational learning by priyadarshinee pradhanPriya Das
Organizational learning is key for organizations to remain competitive in a changing environment. Learning organizations institutionalize learning to constantly prepare employees to adapt to changes. There are various theories of learning styles and attitudes. Organizational learning involves knowledge acquisition, sharing, interpretation, and storage that affect positive development. It is a set of actions by organizational members. The process includes knowledge acquisition, sharing, interpretation, maintenance, and utilization. Mechanisms that facilitate organizational learning include structural and cultural aspects like common values and institutional arrangements. Characteristics of learning organizations include information sharing at all levels, simultaneous learning at individual and group levels, continuous training and development, and reflective thinking.
Organizational learning is the process by which an organization improves itself over time through gaining experience and using that experience to create knowledge. The knowledge created is then transferred within the organization.
This document provides an overview of the concept of a learning organization based on conceptual and theoretical frameworks. It discusses key aspects of learning organizations including their characteristics, processes for developing them, and activities that can transform an organization into a learning one. The main characteristics of learning organizations are systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning. Transforming an organization requires problem solving, system thinking, data-driven decision making, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning opportunities for members.
The document discusses organizational learning and knowledge creation. It provides definitions of a learning organization and communities of practice. It then describes the cycle of knowledge creation involving the conversion of tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. This cycle includes socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. Effective learning involves a social process within communities of practice and managing the interplay between tacit and explicit knowledge.

Pedagogic challenges in the learning organization

Introduction
In recent years pedagogical approaches appear increasingly significant regarding learning in working life, workplace learning and learning organizations. Billett (2008) conceptualizes the relations between educational efforts and peoples' everyday learning processes at work as pedagogic issues and qualities. Pedagogic activities as "work-based learning" (Siebert et al. , 2009) and "work-integrated learning" (Martin et al. , 2012) are structured educational attempts to facilitate learning processes at work showing the importance of linking pedagogy and workplace learning together. Although Senge's (1990) interest in dialogue, team learning and leaders' role as teachers, more elaborated pedagogical perspectives are not emphasized in literature on the learning organization (TLO) tradition or in the knowledge management (KM) approach particularly. However, Lustri et al. (2007) propose to connect the tradition of KM to TLO and describe a link between the technical aspects of organizational creation and storing of knowledge and a sociocultural approach of theories of learning. The authors' approach appears as a pedagogic intervention effort considering especially the strategic steering of interpretative and reflective aspects of individuals' learning processes. They also point to the importance of team learning to spread experiences and individual knowledge. Knowledge in an organization is a contextual construction, practice-based and often tacit (Gherardi, 2009). It is a result of complex social processes of team learning and appears difficult to manage effectively (Sondergaard et al. , 2007). This, in turn, increases the interest of pedagogic leadership described as a research-based inte ...

Organizational Learning in Nigerian Institutions: Constraints and ChallengesIOSR Journals
Organisations are recognised as legal and corporate entities. They have an image, and they can sue and be sued. To that extent therefore, this paper posits that organizations can also learn, and asserts that the absence or dearth of adequate organisational learning culture denies organizations the much needed competitive edge necessary to survive and remain viable in the contemporary and highly globalised world. The paper x-rays the technical and social perspectives of organisational learning and argues that the learning process is context and culture-driven. Conceding that effective organisational learning practice enhances performance, it highlights some hindrances to the learning process, suggests remedies and concludes with a case study of the organisational learning problems of a Nigerian public sector organization.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

I. Introduction
Organizations facing uncertain, changing, or
ambiguous market conditions should be able to learn.
In the absence of learning, organization, individuals
and groups, simply repeat old practices. Change
remains superficial and improvements are short lived.
The concept of learning organization has received
growing attention as one source of competitiveness in
both financial as well as non-financial performance
of an enterprise.For an effective implementation,
managers need to know what a learning organization
is exactly. They need a reasonable, well founded
definition which must be functional and easy to
apply.
The concept of learning organization was introduced
over 40 years ago, but received recognition with the
publication of „The Fifth Discipline‟ by Peter Senge
(1990). He developed the concept of learning
organization by relating the concept of organization
learning to the concept of system thinking and mental
models. Hedefines the five route to a learning
organization, which gives a power tool to a learning
organization to develop three learning abilities:-
ability to inspire aspiration
ability to start reflective conversation
ability to understand complexity
Thus, a learning organization is an organization
which requires expansion of the duties and
responsibilities of an individual in order to achieve
the desired outcomes, it also requires individuals to
work as a team and have a common vision. Further, a
learning organization should focus on the following
areas:
collective thinking
individuals should gain mastery on their job
common vision
importance of team learning
mental models
An LO, promotes innovation, in which group of
people continuously try to learn and grow. Here, the
development is continuous to create a successful
future (Anna Baines, 1997).A good learning
organization is the one which has the ability to
respond positively to: change, interaction, sustainable
development and complexity of the situation (Hengfu
Wen, 2014). He has also designed the strategies for a
learning organization:

leaders first, leadership transition and learning

to promote learning and personal mastery
the double-loop learning, systems thinking and
the improvement of mental models
to develop organizational capacity, learning
teams and the deep dialogue
to promote the practice of learning
to enhance the effectiveness of learning
to establish the “three in one” mode of work
to aim at sustainable development
to establish the leading group
However, the concept of LO existed in history
even before the concept of LO was introduced by
Senge in 1990 (Kjell and Robert, 2012), by quoting
various examples of spectacular experiments and
inventions. They mentioned the example of Japanese
factories. Americans visited the factories in year
1970s to check what makes them to stick to
remarkable quality. They found that difference lies in
how each member contributes and whether top
management considers diverse opinion or not. They
came to the conclusion that Japanese not only
welcome diverse opinion but also implement the
good ones.The organizational learning mechanisms
lead to the construction of a learning organization
and LEQ helps in designing and interpreting the
structures that helps in the formation of a learning
organization, and thereby, evaluates the progress of
these support structures (Anona and Patrick, 2003).
According to author (John Peters, 1996), six areas
constitute the syllabus of a learning organization.
These areas are as follows: having knowledge about
one‟s job in an organization, learning how to perform
without any external help, gaining knowledge
regarding the future with the help of competence
development, understanding of the operating
environment, learning to challenge existing models of
an organization and establishing an effective memory
such that the organization is able to store and retrieve
the knowledge, skills and experience. The authors (A.
Akin and Bahattin, 2005) view that every
organization is LO, the only thing which separates
them is the way they acquire knowledge and how
they are utilizing it. Two types of learning takes place
in an LO:
single loop learning
double loop learning
For effective learning, the following sequence
should be followed:getting the right information,
distribution of information, which means sharing
information within groups, interpreting the acquired
information and transferring the interpreted
information to the memory of an organization.
However, a study shows that LO differs across the
various levels of an enterprise (Teresa and William,
2010). Through their study, they have interpreted that
employees at the lower level of an organization do
not have access to the information or database as
there are no information system installed at this level
therefore, they rank low in the areas of knowledge
management and financial performance. They
suggested that in order to enable the lower level of an
organization to have access to the database,
information system should be installed,the
management should promote two way
communication and also encourage the employees to
participate in the problem solving process of the
organization.
Knowledge Management enables a learning
organization to achieve its vision and mission. A
research conducted by (Anna, 1997), focuses on
knowledge management in which organization uses
the experience of others as a part of their learning.
Knowledge management organizations follow a set
of steps to preserve knowledge:-
acquiring knowledge
storing the acquired knowledge
utilization of knowledge
problem solving using knowledge
and finally decision making
People generally get confused with learning
organizations and organization learning. People use
these two terms as synonyms of each other but in
reality both are two different concepts (Anders,
2001). A learning organization talks about an
organization whereas organization learning talks
about different practices of learning which are used
by an organization to enhance learning. Second
difference is that for an organization to transform
itself to a learning organization a lot of effort is
required whereas organization is an integral part
which is followed by most of the organizations. LO
helps in providing a conducive learning climate,
culture, for organizational learning to take place. On
the other hand, OL involves generation of
knowledge, ideas at individual, team and
organizational level (Ji Hoon, Chang‐Wook and
SeiHyoung,2011).
For an organization to survive in the changing
environment and seek solutions to the various
organizational problems, creativity and learning
should go hand in hand. Creative learners are able to
view their job with a broader horizon, as they have
gained knowledge from a number of fields and
subjects. They make efforts to understand the concept
of creativity and contribute to the world in a more
meaningful way, such that it has a powerful impact
(Martha, 1994).
Learning is inseparable from those who are
engaged in the process of learning (Sharon and
Steven, 2004). The flow of learning in an
organization starts at the individual level, followed
by team and organizational level. When individuals
share their past experiences, insight with others, it

contributes towards group learning, and ultimately
organizational learning. (A. Akin and Bahattin, 2005)
found that an organization‟s culture plays an
important role in organization learning. Both culture
and climate facilitate and shape the flow of learning
and corporate learning in an organization. To test this
concept, the following two objectives were formed:-
Primary objective:The flow learning takes place at
the individual level-group level-and ultimately
organizational level.
Learning in a LO takes place by two ways:
inside the individual‟s head
learning of organization -by members who are
new to the organization and have knowledge
which is not within the organization and by
learning of its members (Yew-Jin Lee & Wolff-
Michael Roth: 2007).
According to (A. Akin and Bahattin, 2005),
learning can happen individually, in a team, within
the organization. For an organization to develop it is
important to ensure that individual development is
also happening at the same time. Since individuals
are roots of so called tree organization it is our duty
to strengthen these roots. Learning at different levels
(individual, group and organization) influences
organization performance and effectiveness. When it
comes to learning at different level, individual learns
by sharing innovative ideas and insights and group
learning is a continuous process which holds
importance for organizational learning to take place
(Mohan and Sang, 2015).
Secondary Objective:Organizational culture,
climate, semantic web tools, ICT and knowledge
management impacts the flow of learning in an
enterprise.
According to (A. Akin and Bahattin, 2005),
organization culture refers to sharing same values,
ethics and social ideals by members of the
organization. On the other hand, climate, is regarded
as a subset of organization culture. It refers to the
employees‟ perception of their work environment.
Both climate and culture impact or help in shaping
the flow of corporate learning in an enterprise
(Nasima and Johan, 2013).

II. Facilitators of learning
Learning Culture –The culture in a learning
organization should be supportive, it should promote
equality and transparency and it should seek
continuous improvement through change. According
to (Anna Baines, 1997) a learning organization
should have culture in place in order to make learning
habitual. (A. Akin and Bahattin, 2005). A learning
culture in an organization sets a conducive
environment for learning by promoting employee
engagement and motivation in employees (Ji Hoon,
Doo Hun, In Guand Woocheol, 2014).It helps in
generation of knowledge, ideas at individual, team
and organizational level. A culture oriented towards
learning helps in creation of positive outcomes.
Learning Climate –Climate is the subset of the
organization culture but both work at different level.
An organizational climate is the perception of the
atmosphere of the organization by its members,
procedure, awards and practices. A best
organizational climate helps in encouragement of
behavior and continuous learning. Managers play a
very important role in setting the organizational
climate by sticking to the following rule( A. Akin and
Bahattin, 2005):

i. coming up with planned learning
opportunities
ii. being a role model in their behavior
iii. finding ways to integrate learning with
organizational processes
iv. readiness to learn
According to (Nasima and Johan, 2013) climate
should be such that it can adapt to the various
changes in order to create a sustainable organization,
which keeps doors open for various changes to occur
and continuously make use of its capacity to enhance
the process.
Semantic Web Technology – Semantic tools help
in the creation of an infrastructure that leads to the
improvement of learning processes and mechanisms
in an organization. Besides this semantic web tools
should also be used to effectively change behavior
(Miguel-Ángel and Miltiadis, 2005).
ICT – This technology provides a system that
enables employees to interact and share knowledge
through various devices such as voice mail, e-mail,
video conferencing etc. ICT provides many
opportunities for on – job learning and knowledge
transfer in an organization. However, implementation
of too many or too few systems poses danger and
leads to dissatisfaction among employees. Thus, the
employees should have adequate knowledge
regarding efficient utilization of devices and the right
motivation approaches (Lilla and Adrienn, 2015).
Knowledge Management– As per (Deepak and
Himanshu, 2011)knowledge management is very
important for any learning organization. It helps to
regulate the flow of learning and leads to effective
storage of knowledge within the organization.
Knowledge management aids in current scenario of
growing complexity in business, mobile in the
workforce, prevention of assets and faster pace with
which innovation is happening. For companies
implementing knowledge management, it is very
important to follow the right process for it, which
includes the following steps:
i. creation
ii. storage
iii. sharing
iv. sharing and evaluation
v. generation
vi. internalization
vii. transfers
III. Flow of Learning
Individual Level –It depicts the importance of
learning of individual members of an organization,
for an organization which aspires to become a
learning organization. There are various steps taken
or introduced to strengthen the roots by emphasizing
the importance of individual learning, one of them is
executive MBA. To facilitate learning in individuals
executive MBA was introduced as a concept to
improve the performance of the employees working
in an organization either at managerial level or
executive level with up to 5 years of experience, to
enhance their performance as an individual. Reason
being that with the changing business environment,
managers need to be extra smart who can help the
organization during complex situations and changing
business needs. MBA executive came with the
concept of action learning to bridge the gap between
theory and practice because here the utilization of
competence of each and every employee is required
for an organization to learn and succeed since
traditional MBA course is incapable of developing
managers who are smart. Other objective of
executive learning was to facilitate team building and
knowledge sharing. According to the study conducted
by (Sharon and Steven, 2004), most of the
individuals learn through social learning, they learn
by observing their other members of the organization.
They say that in most of the organizations people are
not ready to learn by social learning. So it is very
important to set a culture conducive to social
learning. Another way of fostering individual
learning has been expressed by(Anders, 2004) in his
paper; the paper explains that a learning organization
should focus on the following activities to accelerate
individual learning:
i. organization learning
ii. creating learning structures
iii. learning at work
iv. developing a learning organization
Importance of individual learning is also
depicted in the paper written by (Penny West, 1994)
where he describes the importance of the individual
learning by making a reference to the Kolb‟s learning
cycle, which says learning in a LO is a cyclical
process where most of the modifications are based on
past experiences; individuals are the carriers of these
past experiences.
Team learning –As per the study conducted by
(Ji Hoon, Doo Hun, In Gu and Woocheol, 2014),
team work plays a crucial role in organization‟s
success. It bridges the gap between individual and
organization performance. The concept of success in
an organization with effective learning is extended by
(Penny West, 1994) in his paper, where he mentioned
that if an organization is undergoing change as a
result of various changes in the business then team
learning is best option to deal with it. Team
performance is also affected by employee
engagement and learning within the organization.
Effectiveness of team happens when people in a team
share their learning experience.Team learning also
plays a very important role in creative thinking, as
per (Martha, 1994) best learning happens when
people work in a group and exchange or share each
other‟s knowledge. This sharing fosters creative
thinking within the group which travels upwards

towards the organizational level and helps an
organization to flourish.
Organization learning –(Yew-Jin and Wolff-
Michael, 2007), stated that learning of an
organization as an individual is also very important
for a LO. An organization learns with the learning of
its members and by members who are new to the
organization and have knowledge which is not with
the organization, which is further shared among
individuals through team learning.
IV. Conclusion
According to (Swee and Peter, 2008), there
exists a positive relationship between learning
capability and competitive advantage. The learning
organization outperformed in the market of rising
share prices as well as bear markets. Hence, these
companies are a better option for investment. There is
a positive relationship between the way companies
identify, utilize knowledge and organizational
performance. Hence, learning capacity affects
financial as well as non-financial performance. The
study also proves that innovation and job satisfaction
has highest positive relationship with learning
capability (Swee, Catherine and Tony,
2012).Learning organization helps in providing a
conducive learning climate, culture, for
organizational learning to take place and also has a
stronger impact on personal learning, followed by
sharing of knowledge at group and ultimately,
organizational level. The LO model: - leadership
style, the process that helps in communication, values
and beliefs of the organization, lead to the
development of an ethical organization. These
features of LO along with norms, standards and
ethics training increases the employee commitment
towards ethical practices (George, Kathleen and
Claudia, 2014). In the end a learning organization can
be assessed with the help of diagnostic tool, learning
environmental survey tool, learning audit, DLOQ
tool, importance of team based learning , values and
philosophy of an organization (Dima, Yusuf and
Charbel, 2009).
