Answer 1

Organization learning can be seen in three types of organizational structure:

Decentralized i.e more horizontal structure as it increases communication, interaction and learning

Specialized: Specialization focus more on developing skills with respect to a particular job and thus increases learning

Non-formalized: This type of structure helps in boosting creativity of employees as it does not entirely rely on SOPs, standard rules etc.
