Reflective Cycles and Reflexive Learning Principles: Teaching Ethics from the Learner Outward1
Organizations seem to have some characteristics of living beings, which should not seem outlandish given that they are made up of collections of human beings. One characteristic that many theorists have suggested is an ability to learn and change. For example, a century-old company might gain the capacity to integrate modern information technology, such as Apple iPads (which may seem like yesterday’s technology by the time that you read this chapter), into its daily work. That process of purposeful, systemic change that seems to emerge over time is called “organizational learning.”
