New dimensions in the dynamics of learning and knowledge

It is generally accepted that individuals learn throughout their lives and that much of that learning takes place in workplace settings. Learning as a concept has been well researched and documented, with literature that focuses on individual learning, learning in groups and learning in organisations or enterprises. The coming of the knowledge era has created opportunities and demands for learning to move to centre-stage in the context of globalisation of markets and production, increased competitiveness and technological advancement.
