1. “An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly is
the ultimate competitive advantage.”Do you agree with the statement? Justify using
examples. [5]
2. Using Edgar Schein’s definition of organizational culture, you’ll want to know to
what extent: “Underlying beliefs and assumptions” support learning in your
organization. Values and principles drive learning in your organization. Employees
and other stakeholders see the symbols and artefacts of learning and performance
improvement. Do you believe that learning is prevented by stagnant organizations?
How can an employee use this to their advantage? [5]
3. “A person who has been punished is not less inclined to behave in a given way; at
