| | Organizational Learning and Information Systems |
 | | Organizations learn in order to be improve their adaptability and efficiency during times of change (Dodgson, 1993). | | | Organizational learning also requires commitment from executives for a long-term process with adequate budget and resources (Grantham, 1993). | | | Organizations are increasingly paying attention to the concept of organizational learning in order to increase competitive advantage, innovation, and effectiveness. |

| | Transforming EPSS to Support Organizational Learning |
| | Congenital knowledge is the sum of the knowledge which was inborn at the founding of the organization and that which was amassed previous to that point in time (Huber 1991). | | | Because the organization will not be the entity that is interacting with the medium, we must include an individual interface in our design considerations. | | | As a result, EPSS is credited with reducing the amount of time required to access information and bring workers to an entry level of job competency (Bastiaens, Nijhof, and Abma 1996, Tait 1995, Lamy 1994, Bramer and Ghenno 1993, McGraw 1994). |

| | Organizational learning |
| | Learning, from the viewpoint of LPP, essentially involves becoming an "insider." Learners do not receive or even construct abstract, "objective," individual knowledge; rather, they learn to function in a community--be it a community of nuclear physicists, cabinet makers, high school classmates, street-corner society, or, as in the case under study, service technicians. | | | But both the rep and the specialist realized that the resulting loss of face for the company, loss of the customer's faith in the reps, loss of their own credit within their organization, and loss of money to the corporation made this their last resort. | | | That is to say their shape and membership emerges in the process of activity, as opposed to being created to carry out a task. |

| | Groupware and Organizational Learning |
| | Organizations see the need for making knowledge explicit so that it can be stored, indexed, shared and transferred -- so that knowledge becomes a more tangible corporate asset. | | | Sometimes this is a "hot" current issue, but more often the current issues are transitory and the really important business imperatives that could drive and sustain a major change are deeper, overarching, and more consistent over time. | | | Not just in commercial enterprises, but in government, health care, and non-profits, the pressures are just as high. |
