Abstract

In reviewing current research, it has been discussed how an organization creates competitiveness dynamics different from other, linking with the ability to learn. It has been widely discussed ontological and epistemological aspect of organizational learning, materializing in practice that leads to knowledge management, however, it is essential to emphasize the role of sociocultural approach in learning processes in organizations, in order to find the best model to trigger organizational learning processes. This paper reviews, analyzes and proposes possible links between learning constructs and organizational culture as a basis for knowledge management, recognizing the organization as a knowledge diffusion unit.
