Abstract

The concept of organization is developing in the world of private organizations, especially in developed countries, as one of the responses organisations must make in facing changes in an increasingly complex organizational environment. This study aims to determine the conceptual learning organization as a contemporary organizational theory. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by exploring journals, books and other information relevant to the study.  The study results show that the current learning organization model is an alternative organization that can survive in the globalization era, which is identified with a rapidly changing (dynamic) situation. Therefore, the organization must facilitate the learning process for all members and continuously carry out self-transformation.
