Reviews

The volume looks great! It represents an advance to the field by integrating previouslyn disparate ideas around this common theme. It will be a good contribution to the fields of training, management, and organizational development. To my knowledge, there is no book like this that looks at the process of continuous learning in the diversity the authors present here. -- ALLAN CLARDY, TOWSON UNIVERSITY The purpose of this book is not just to describe how organizations can promote continuous learning in their employees; they want to integrate literature on individual, group, and organizational learning. A distinctive feature of this book is the authors' use of a panel of subject-matter experts (SMEs) on the topic of continuous learning. Sessa and London make a strong case for the importance of continuous learning at the individual, group and organizational levels. Without this learning, the organization, like the shark, will die. -- PSYCCRITIQUES
