Učeče se organizacije v slovenskem gospodarstvu

Due to turbulent and unpredictable environment the operations of companies and other organizations are becoming more and more complex. They must be flexible, innovative and adaptive to the consumer, which cannot be achieved only with the traditional economic capital, but enlightened managers today recognize the importance of intellectual capital and by recent studies also positive psychological capital. All forms of capital allow the sustainable competitive advantage. Because the area is very large, we will focus on knowledge as intellectual capital of company, which represents the total knowledge of company and plays an important role by achieving company performance. Numerous organizations are nowadays being successfully transformed into learning organizations or companies and are therefore facing new challenges, improving constantly and fighting the competitors in order to take over a leading role in the branch. The aim of the Paper was to accentuate the importance and the role of knowledge in today's organizations trough the management concept of the learning organization, which establishes new techniques connected with continual learning and enables companies' constant restructuring and adjusting. Trough research we established the presence and spread of the concept of learning organization or its elements and furthermore differences in characteristics of the concept regarding the companies' respective size and ownership. The acquired results have been compared to research that acquired in the 2003 and we have determined the level of development in these years. Creation of organizations which are willing and able to learn will bring benefits to the whole economy and as a result to the society we live in.Zaradi turbulentnega in nepredvidljivega okolja postaja poslovanje podjetij in drugih organizacij vse bolj zapleteno. Zahteva se fleksibilnost, inovativnost, razvoj in prilagajanje potrošniku, za kar pa so potrebne različne oblike kapitala (ekonomski, intelektualni kapital in po novejših raziskavah celo pozitivni psihološki kapital). Vse oblike so pomembne in omogočajo trajno konkurenčno prednost podjetja oziroma organizacije. Ker je območje obravnave zelo široko, se bomo v prispevku osredotočili na znanje kot intelektualni kapital podjetja, ki predstavlja celotno znanje podjetja in igra pomembno vlogo pri uspešnosti. Številne organizacije se tako v današnjem času pospešeno preoblikujejo v učeče se organizacije oziroma v učeča se podjetja ter se na ta način soočajo z izzivi iz okolja, se nenehno izboljšujejo ter bijejo boj s konkurenti, da bi postali vodilni v panogi. V prispevku smo poudarili pomen in vlogo znanja v današnjih organizacijah skozi koncept učeče se organizacije, ki vzpostavlja nove prijeme v zvezi s kontinuiranim učenjem ter omogoča organizacijam nenehno preoblikovanje in prilagajanje. Na podlagi opravljene raziskave smo ugotovili prisotnost in razširjenost koncepta oziroma njegovih posameznih elementov v slovenskem gospodarstvu ter ugotovili zanimive razlike v značilnostih koncepta med srednje velikimi in velikimi podjetji ter med podjetji v različnem lastništvu. Zraven tega smo s primerjavo rezultatov raziskave iz leta 2003 prikazali stopnjo razvoja koncepta v teh letih. Dejstvo je, da bo le ustvarjanje organizacij, ki se želijo in so se sposobne učiti, prineslo koristi za celotno gospodarstvo ter posledično tudi za družbo v kateri živimo
