How do managers build an effective learning organization capable of achieving a sustainable competitive advantage? Discovering the answer to this question is today's and tomorrow's challenge for top managers. The concept of organizational learning is elusive and multifaceted. Although there are numerous writings on this topic, action‐oriented perspectives ‐ much needed for operational guidance ‐ have received limited attention. Focusing on this gap, the present article proposes an action‐oriented framework of organizational learning and, using this framework, explores the perspectives of twenty‐three top managers on implementing organizational learning.
