Parenthetic Learning in Organizations: Toward the Unlearning of the Unlearning Model

Author

Listed:
  • Jonathan I. Klein

Abstract

The organizational ‘unlearning’ model is discussed. It is argued that the model fails to capture the individual and organizational processes necessary to achieve the objectives for which it is proposed. To achieve these objectives, an alternative, ‘parenthetic learning’ model of organizational learning and change is proposed.
