Organizational Learning, Culture & the Tragedy of the Commons in China
This paper ends with a brief discussion of climate change and suggests that a practical solution would be to transfer much of the current air, sea and longhaul trucking of intercontinental freight in China and between it and Europe (and the US) to maglev systems. Before that we review the practise of Asian knowledge management and organizational learning and contrast this against western precepts finding in China that there seems to be little incentive to look after ones fellows (perhaps across Asia)outside of tight personal guanxi networks. This is likely to be the case in the intense production regions of China where little creativity is allowed at the Organizational Learning (OL) level, and there is little incentive to initiate Knowlege Management (KM) by senior managers. Thus the Tragedy of the Commons will be enacted by individuals, township, and provincial leaders upwards even by top ministers-no one will care for the climate or pollution, only their own group and their wealth creation prospects.
