Interrogate the four statements below giving a response in the context of the OB dependent variables and from your chosen field of study: From Dixon (1999, p.xiv).

a. Learning is a part of work and work involves learning; these are not separate functions but intertwined; the separation we have made of them is artificial and often does not serve us well.

b. Learning is not only or even primarily about obtaining correct information or answer from knowledgably others; it is fundamentally about making meaning out of the experience that we and others have in the world.

c. Organizational learning results from intentional and planned efforts to learn. Although it can and does occur accidentally, organizations cannot afford to rely on learning through chance.

d. As a collective we are capable of learning our way to answers we need to address our difficult problems. It is ourselves we must rely on for these answers rather than experts, who can, at best, only provide us with answers that have worked in the past.
