Bottom-Up Learning Organization

Based on the intensive studies about organizational learning since 1980s, BISCUE Research Institute advocates the Next-Generation Learning Organization by using web 2.0, communication and content technologies.

We focus on the bottom-up learning organization we could see in a number of Japanese companies in 1980s when Japan emerged as a growing power in the world economy.

By using the concept of bottom-up learning organization which integrates Communities of Practice in each level of the organizations, we are confident the companies and other organizations not only in Japan but in other countries will enhance their productivity while achieving their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) or Social Responsibilities (SR) by developing the learning communities and societies around the world.
