This study examines learning management as a critical driver of organizational resilience in an era of technological change, demographic shifts, and market volatility. The increasing pace of technological obsolescence and the need for continuous workforce upskilling underscore the necessity for structured learning processes. Additionally, ageing workforces and demographic decline highlight the urgency of effective knowledge transfer. Organizations must proactively manage learning to sustain competitiveness, foster innovation, and ensure long-term adaptability. While existing literature explores learning organizations, empirical research on structured learning management remains limited. This study investigates how organizational characteristics, capabilities, and skills shape learning-oriented cultures and drive continuous improvement. Using a case study methodology, the research examines learning context, activities, and outcomes within a multinational firm. Theoretical insights from experiential learning and human capital theory, provide a framework for analysis.

Abstract
This study examines learning management as a critical driver of organizational resilience in an era of technological change, demographic shifts, and market volatility. The increasing pace of technological obsolescence and the need for continuous workforce upskilling underscore the necessity for structured learning processes. Additionally, ageing workforces and demographic decline highlight the urgency of effective knowledge transfer. Organizations must proactively manage learning to sustain competitiveness, foster innovation, and ensure long-term adaptability. While existing literature explores learning organizations, empirical research on structured learning management remains limited. This study investigates how organizational characteristics, capabilities, and skills shape learning-oriented cultures and drive continuous improvement. Using a case study methodology, the research examines learning context, activities, and outcomes within a multinational firm. Theoretical insights from experiential learning and human capital theory, provide a framework for analysis. Findings highlight the role of strategic leadership, knowledge management, and innovation in fostering learning-driven organizations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
