ABSTRACT

Organizational learning is a topic to which March has devoted much of his attention in recent years, primarily in articles scattered throughout the literature, but also in a book (March 1999), which brings together a number of these articles in one place. This pursuit of organizational learning is in fact another extrapolation from his behavioral theory of the firm theorizing (see Chapter 4). However, March’s ideas have developed gradually from that early beginning, with a particular acceleration occurring in the late 1980s and thereafter.
