Abstract
The purpose of this article is to design the basic features of an info rmation and communication system in order to promote organisational le arning. The purpose is, further, to categorise the concept of learning to prevent errors of categorisation in connection with organisational learning. The article is, in accordance with this purpose, clearly no rmative. First, we weave together parallel currents in organisational learning, by referring to sources influencing these currents. We categ orise three currents of learning: the system-theoretical, the classica l school of learning, and the strategic school of learning. Our contri bution is linked mainly to the system-theoretical school of learning. We then develop basic features of an information system aimed at the p romotion of organisational Learning. Then we discuss basic features of a communication policy, also focused on organisational learning. Fina lly, we categorise organisational learning at four levels.
