Abstract
It has been argued that an effective coping mechanism, indeed a strategy, for addressing the uncertainties of the new century is for businesses to become learning organisations; however, it is not entirely clear that becoming a learning organisation guarantees or even correlates with successful performance in the marketplace. Thus, there are three purposes for this paper. First, we will attempt to define a 'learning' organisation. Second, we will address the behaviour, practices and tactics of learning organisations and how some of these learning attributes may distinguish learning organisations from other types of organisations. Third we will attempt to answer the question posed in the title of this paper, 'Is becoming a learning organisation a panacea or a partial response to the demands of the 21st century?'
