Abstract
Organizational learning provides a humanistic and optimistic solution, and it lays emphasis on teamwork, communication, managerial vision and leadership within human systems. This is where technology factors in, as it makes the main difference between the industrial-age era and modern business environments. Technology comes in handy in allowing for successful testing of an innovation through simulation so as to determine the areas where there may be loopholes, and it facilitates testing of innovations to measure their performance. Given the immense capabilities that it incorporates, information technology seems to have an larger potential or capability for supporting organizational learning via retrieval, capture, storage and representation of structured data, models, images, texts and diagrams in electronic databases. Generally, technology can enhance organizational learning or hinder it depending on the manner in which it is incorporated or embedded in the organizational structure, mainly by increasing the ability of business entities to learn.
