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.

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.
