Interrelating three concepts that derive from different research trends and disciplines seems to be important from the theoretical and practical perspective. From the theoretical and research point of view there is need for building new theories on the results of all three concepts (looking for synergy). This could lead to a better understanding of each concept, a more complete discovering of regularities and then a more effective application of theory into practice. Better understanding of organizational learning phenomena could enable the designing of better knowledge management systems, which could grasp and disseminate the cognitive learning effects. Moreover, more effective knowledge management could enhance organizational learning. Therefore there is a need for an empirical analysis of the connections between knowledge management practices (formal and informal ones) and organizational learning processes on an individual, group and organizational level as well as relations between those practices and learning results. Additionally there is still a need for identifying practices that provide alignment (fit) between organizational learning, knowledge management and strategic contexts of the organization or how to keep learning on the right path.
In the practical sense integration of those three concepts could result in a renewal of the learning organization concept in the practitioners' eyes. The learning organization firstly met with a positive and enthusiastic reception by managers but finally, because of its problematic applicability, it was abandoned. On the other hand, knowledge management helps managers in organizing knowledge assets but based only on technological, information processing solutions which doesn't give great performance results, as it was firstly expected. Managers start to notice the need of a more organic, social approach to knowledge, which is applied in the proposed understanding of the learning organization.
