Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Double-loop learning is the process of not only solving the immediate problem but also questioning the underlying assumptions and adapting a better set of assumptions to support future performance. By contrast, single-loop learning (option B) only focuses on fixing the immediate problem without questioning the underlying assumptions. The deutoro learning model (option A) is not a commonly recognized term in the field of organizational learning. The cybernetic model (option C) is a theoretical framework used to understand the control and feedback processes in systems but does not necessarily address the process of reviewing and adapting assumptions in organizational learning.
