The Enterprise as a Learning System

This paper was written in the last months of the InterUniversity Programme of the Fondation Industrie-Universitie of Belgium (in 1969). It had been discovered during the course of this momentous experiment how the presence of a visiting manager within an enterprise whose management had become convinced of the need for a lot of those employed there to learn, particularly when supported by a band of allies, could in fact engender an enlightenment previously unsuspected.
