Learning in organisations: a corporate curriculum for the knowledge economy
Futures, (2001)
Abstract
This paper elaborates on the argument that the economy is transforming into a knowledge
economy. Therefore, individuals, teams and companies need to develop the necessary competencies
to be able to participate in a working life that is mainly based on knowledge productivity.
The traditional approaches to management, training and development will not provide
the learning environment that is required for knowledge work. Each company should
consciously design a corporate curriculum that turns the day to day work environment into a
learning environment. The knowledge economy may bring prosperity to those who join the
new elite of knowledge workers. Inherently, it also creates new imbalances.
