In the next sections I examine select key constructs used in this discussion to
consider some consequences and implications later in the article. In doing so, I draw
upon my experience working in human organizations, many lessons learned, personal
observations from three decades of international travel over my professional career,
and select published sources relevant to the key constructs. It is not my purpose to
review and critique the large body of published literature on the phenomenon of
globalization, the learning organization, and any key construct selected to develop the theme of this article. I leave these endeavors to those who have such propensities and interests. But I can contribute a perspective to the discourse that is systemic, holistic, and ecological, emphasizing a global ethic (Collen, 1993, 1994). Approaching the end of my sixth decade, as a witness, observer and participant, I have experienced massive changes in the course of human affairs that take my breath away. It is upon my personal reflections, interpretations, and insights that I rest my argument.
