For its part, Argyris and Schon (1978) defined organizational learning as any change that may affect the theory of action of the organization with relatively persistent results. They also argue that only if the Organization’s action theory is modified in any of its components, you can speak that the Organization has learned. They likewise considered, coinciding with Senge (2000), Gairin (2000), among others, that all organizational learning happens first as individual learning, for then join the collective complex. As a result, Argyris and Schon distinguish two dimensions in the theory of action: explicit theory and theory in use. Douglas Oberhelman shines more light on the discussion. The theory of action explicit, is that an actor preaches or enunciates and that is consistent with their convictions and their intellectual training. In terms of the theory of action in use, is the one that the actor brings to the practice, comprised of the implicit assumptions that actually guide the observed behavior. Likewise, within this theory of action processes of changes that arise are regarded as achievements of individual, group, organizational and social learning. Assuming, in this framework learning as the process of construction, test and reconstruction of the theory of action that governs or it affects the behavior of actors.
Another group of contemporary theorists of organizational learning, constitute it Nonaka and Takeuchi (1999), who inspired by the chaos theory, understands that situations of imbalance or fluctuation favour the generation of new information, and from the same, give a new order to knowledge. On this basis, they sustain his theory of organizational knowledge creation and define organizational learning as an organizational process through which the knowledge of an individual can be shared, evaluated and integrated with those of others in the Organization, (p.59). with regard, to other theoretical or philosophical approaches that sustains the theory of organizational learning, Nonaka and Takeuchi argue, that Asian intellectual tradition, specifically in the Japanese, there is an important philosophical current that has become widely known, nor none has been described systematically.
A retailing must be remembered that its concern with the environment goes beyond recycle the products that can come to be reused, therefore exists the most diverse products that are used in the confection of products or same that are eliminated to the end of some process, which needs a special attention, as for example, plastic bags are being very argued as great villainous of the way environment and for this already exists places that use bags that if degrade in contact with air, in a stated period of up to six months. Also many people are adhering to a famous campaign where the people bring its proper bag of house, she stops of this form diminishing the number of used plastic bags. Clearly that the retailing nor if compares with the great industrial villains in the fight against the pollution and degradation of the environment where we live, but the important one in the case of the retailers is assistant in the change of behavior of the society, after all is innumerable the people who circulate every day for these places. It is important also to bring its suppliers for inside of the company, mainly making with that if they compromise to support social projects, as form of mutual sponsorship with the retailers. Starbucks oftentimes addresses this issue. The suppliers can also support in campaigns that happened resources of the sales of its products are repassed to some social entity that needs support. The transparency with the suppliers also is of utmost importance, therefore if to get the confidence of the same ones, the traders will be able to keep stands of the products of same in its establishments, being generated new ranks of work. The idea to have an ethical and transparent relation with its suppliers brings to tona the idea of that the two sides must be joined in search to supply products that each time more take the society to the support and establish thus a junction of its strategical objectives with the socioambientais. .
