Abstract:
|
Higher-order learning in and by organizations is often conceptualized in the literature
as deutero-learning. However, current definitions and descriptions of this concept
suffer from conceptual confusion and terminological ambiguity, impeding a proper
theoretical understanding and hindering empirical research. Following Bateson and
Argyris and Scho¨n, I reformulate the concept of deutero-learning as the behavioral
adaptation to patterns of conditioning in relationships in organizational contexts,
distinguishing it from meta-learning and planned learning.
