Types of Organizational Learning

The video tutorial explains three types of organizational learning: single loop, double loop, and Deutero learning. Single loop learning involves correcting errors without changing organizational policies. Double loop learning goes further by questioning and modifying norms to prevent future errors. Deutero learning transforms an organization into a learning entity, promoting knowledge acquisition and sharing both internally and externally. The tutorial also discusses factors affecting the implementation of these learning types within an organization.

What is the primary characteristic of single loop learning?

• Identifying and correcting errors

• Integrating learning across the organization

• Learning from external sources

• Changing organizational policies

How does double loop learning differ from single loop learning?

• It only applies to external scenarios

• It questions and modifies existing norms

• It ignores errors

• It focuses on situational learning

• Single loop learning

• Situational learning

• Deutero learning

• Double loop learning

What does Deutero learning emphasize in an organization?

• Ignoring external learning sources

• Recording and disseminating information

• Focusing solely on internal errors

• Maintaining existing procedures

Which learning type is most likely to involve external sources?

• Single loop learning
