Implementing intra-organizational learning: a phased-model approach supported by intranet technology
Article Abstract:
Information technology can facilitate organizational learning but only within an appropriate system. Little has been written about the mechanisms which would operate within a successful learning system. A phased-model approach to intranet usage reveals the elements which should be present in an infrastructure which encourages and documents organizational learning through use of this technology. The intranet can support learning at all levels through increased, speedier access to better quality information. Organizations can also monitor learning through its intranet infrastructure.

ROI3: the building blocks for successful global organizations in the 21st century
Article Abstract:
The performance of a firm will not only be based on return on investment from investment capital but on return on information and return on ideas (ROI3). Companies which are able to successfully organize the return on investment from ideas and information are likely to better prepared for the future. The three elements in ROI interact with each other. The value of information can be determined by how much it is worth to another firm and how much it is required by the company. Companies should encourage creativity and ideas which are cheap even if the returns can be low.

Shifting organizational paradigms: transitional management
Article Abstract:
Wide-reaching changes in the business climate are prompting shifting organisational paradigms. There are still doubts about the extent to which companies will be willing to adapt to new business conditions, and it is clear that transitional management will bring many challenges. Companies must look at establishing a learning progression which will make the change process a business habit, and should educate employees to expect constant change. Technology has a role to play in this process, but is not a solution in itself.
