organization (Weick & Ashford, 2001). First, when an organization is faced with a

for learning to occur. This difficulty arises from the fact that there are multiple
contributing elements in complex environments that may serve to act and interact to
cause organizational problems. Second, internal conflicts inhibit organizational learning.
