Type of company
In business management, a learning organization is a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself.[1] The concept was coined through the work and research of Peter Senge and his colleagues.[2]
Learning organizations may develop as a result of the pressures facing modern organizations; this enables them to remain competitive in the business environment.[3]
