Another current in the social learning literature focuses more
on practical application. Early works by Lewin (1939) on
factors that influence group dynamics and by Rogers (e.g.,
1961) on group leader characteristics that facilitate learning,
have been followed by many studies in the organization and
management sciences on how to practically help professionals
to be more effective in their learning, for example, by using
open feedback processes (e.g., Argyris 1993, Senge et al. 1994,
1999, Schein 1999).
