Although multiple perspectives exist at the same time,
most contributors to the field agree that OL is an information
intensive phenomena. Without information exchanges,
there can be no learning at the level of the organization.
And if one agrees that information exchange
is essential to learning, it would be interesting to understand
how systems of information support these processes.
This is all the more interesting when we take the view, as we do in this paper, that OL is essentially the
process of organizational evolution. From this point of
view, exploring the role of IS and OL means understanding
whether IS’s support or frustrate desired outcomes of
the process.
