  • Beschreibung: PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore a new idea presenting the possible relationship between organisational learning and organisational design.Design/methodology/approachThe establishment of this relation is based upon extensive literature review.FindingsOrganisational learning theory has been used to understand several organisational phenomena, like resources and competencies, tacit knowledge or the role of memory in the organisation; however, it is difficult to identify fits and consequent misfits between organisational learning and the organisational design.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a theoretical paper, so there is a possible limitation, regarding the lack of empirical support.Practical implicationsAt the end of the paper a number of recommendations regarding the organisational design are suggested, in order to promote organisational learning in the firms.Originality/valueThis paper identifies some links between organisational learning and organisational design, providing the grounds for a subsequent development and empirically testing of those relations.
