Those who administrate, the managers, supervise and enforce them. These hackneyed and familiar conceptions of management are thought to keep the organization intact as an entity, to preserve, maintain and sustain the organization. If one is vague about the implications of this approach to management, one can allude to the biological construct of homeostasis and the mechanical analogy of the thermostat to communicate what managers are supposed to do. These notions have been popular in the twentieth century and often effective for local management of the human organization, but they seem far adrift from the idea of the learning organization, or at best, a very narrow view of it. That is, if one learns well the rules of conduct and act to perpetuate the organization within its boundaries of regulation, then this primitive definition of the learning organization has been met.
