QUESTION 1
1.1 Factors that distinguish a learning organisation in higher education from
other types of businesses:
1. Focus on Knowledge Creation and Dissemination
Universities primarily focus on the creation, sharing, and dissemination of
knowledge, unlike other businesses that focus on profitability and customer
satisfaction.
2. Long-Term Educational Impact
In higher education, the focus is on developing individuals with long-term
academic and professional skills, while in businesses, learning is typically
aimed at short-term performance improvements.
3. Research-Oriented Culture
Higher education institutions emphasize research and innovation,
encouraging intellectual inquiry. In contrast, businesses are more likely to
focus on practical applications of knowledge to solve problems or gain
competitive advantage.
4. Collaborative Learning Environment
