{"product_id":"family-businesses-and-the-learning-naomi-birdthistle-9783639167528","title":"Family Businesses and the Learning Organisation","description":"At the core of this work is an explanatory research study that seeks to investigate the learning strategies of family businesses in Ireland, in the small and medium-sized enterprise sector (SME), within the framework of the theory of the learning organisation. There is much debate about the benefits of becoming a learning organisation. The benefits of adopting a learning organisation culture are that it ensures that the business is adaptive to changes in the environment, is reactive to developments in markets and is proactive to its customers needs, wants and desires. Family businesses have the same pressures for change as professionally managed firms. This book will be of assistance to owner\/managers of family firms, its management and staff; academics and family business consultants as it provides a model for the adaptation of the learning organisation within the family business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Birdthistle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363916752X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639167528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Naomi Birdthistle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440358994175,"sku":"9783639167528","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3cf1afe-8c24-47fc-b8b7-343c953c80e9.jpg?v=1777181923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/family-businesses-and-the-learning-naomi-birdthistle-9783639167528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
