Team Learning and National Culture: Framing the Issues

Abstract

The problem and the solution. Team learning is seen as a pivotal phenomenon for helping organizations learn and adapt to rapidly changing task environments. Culture has a strong influence on patterns of group dynamics and consequently, group learning. Models of team learning need to be taken as a point of departure by examining the behaviors, processes, and conditions associated with team learning in different cultural contexts. This inquiry should be informed by the existing literature on national culture.
