Sažetak
The learning organization concept is viewed as a model characterized by collaborative working environment and its flexibility to quickly respond to environmental challenges. Its implementation can be suggested for academic organizations in order to enhance their capacity to permanently renew knowledge of their members and clients. The basic source of competitive advantages can only be found in “ investing” in the improvement of organizations. Given the growing need to learn on the individual basis makes the mastery of new and rapidly evolving types of learning methodology essential. IT plays a dominant role in facilitating and enabling knowledge management through e-learning, the creation and distribution of knowledge via the online delivery of information, communication, education, and training. The learning organization concept requires that the learning process also involves knowledge sharing and disseminating in order to transform individual into organizational learning. In that sense faculty members should be connected in clusters, nourish an open mind perspective and will to share the understanding of knowledge, which can be achieved by using digital technology. The purpose of this article is to study the relationship between e-learning technology and learning organization concept especially when implemented in the academic framework. The article generally asserts that in the process, when organizations such as academic institutions exhibit substantial efforts to transform themselves according to the learning organization guidelines, thereby seeking suitable, efficient and cost-effective means of acquiring, disseminating and transforming the knowledge into organizational practice, the e-learning technology serves as the recommended strategy showing the highest potentials.
