A turbulent business environment, highly demandingcustomers, formidable competitors, technological innovations, shorteningproduct life cycles and low barriers to entry, have forced organizations to puta higher emphasis on learning. Organizations are becoming more fluid,facilitating networks of customers, suppliers and business partners. Boundariesof organizations are becoming blurred and departmental barriers are fading.
