more details

Selected papers will be published as a special issue of the journal

IJLC covers contemporary issues from the perspectives of process, structure, meaning and methods of individual and organisational learning and their impact on the organisational change process. IJLC seeks to improve the understanding and approach to learning by addressing both theoretical and practical issues that have a high relevance to reforming and revitalising organisational capability, knowledge and intellectual assets. Learning is essential to individuals and organisations, whilst change is inevitable and needs to be managed wherever possible. The advancement of human knowledge and understanding of organisational learning and appropriate responses to the process of change determine social and economic progress.

IJLC is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge of management of learning and change, especially the process process and method of learning and change in science-based and technology-driven developments and applications. IJLC also covers intricate sets of management theories and practices concerning a range of topics such as electronic learning, learning-by-doing, action learning, sustainable development, efficacy, and ethics of learning and change.

 Go Top  Objectives

The core objective of IJLCis to deepen the knowledge and understanding of both individual and to link learning with organisational change and development. The academic objectives addressed in IJLC include: to deepen theoretical understanding of learning and its connection with knowledge; to develop methods and approaches to learning; to integrate leaning with technological, social and economic change; to promote international networks and dialogue between researchers, industry practioners and public sector persons.

IJLC's objectives are to encourage new approaches and practices that provide insight into how firms use learning as a precursor of change and to foster new thinking around learning theories and change management processes. The journal is also dedicated to explore how firms formulate learning strategies to manage competitiveness and capabilities under uncertain conditions. In addition, IJLC aims to provide a forum for the publication of research and to promote links between the theory and practice of learning and management of innovation, knowledge, science and technology.

 Go Top  Readership

IJLC aims to inspire scholars and practitioners dealing with learning and change. It assists those individuals and firms to manage the process of change by developing effective management techniques that are relevant, applicable, and appropriate, providing a vehicle through which to deepen the understanding of managing learning and change processes caused by scientific and technological advances. IJLC also addresses management issues faced by all knowledge-based firms, and, therefore, is relevant to all individuals, irrespective of their position in the organisation. The readership will include practitioners, academics, industrialists, and business students.
