Sažetak
We take the contingency approach and examine learning opportunities that are context related. The fact that it is not entirely clear which circumstances prompt an organization to engage in a specific way of learning is still provoking interest from academics and expert practitioners (Gnyawali and Stewart, 2003). It is, however, clear that learning is contingency dependent and influenced by the environment. The rate of change in the environment today affects equally profit and non for profit organizations in the attempts to balance between their internal needs and environmental circumstances. It is important to take the contingency approach and identify situational variables necessary for good management of learning. Several research has previously pointed to contingency related learning behavior. For example, Wijnhoven (2001) identified four learning needs levels defined by organizational environmental complexity and dynamics. We examine learning opportunities that lead to individual and organizational learning and development in the context of military education (Antonacopoulou et al., 2020), risk and wrongdoing management (Schmidt, 2020), introduction of lean production principles through the lens of intergenerational differences (Tortorella et al., 2020), project- based work (Rose et al., 2020) and in the socio- cultural context of Latin America and the Caribbean (Santos et al., 2020).
