What are the key
components of the learning organization, and how do these relate to the
principles of systems theory?

The key components of the learning
organization are increased adaptability, increased communication, and teams
(Modaff et al, pg. 85).  The learning
organization is based on systems theory. 
The key components of the learning organization relate to the principles
of systems theory because they highlight the ideas of interdependence and
synergy.  Interdependence is based on the
idea that two things are mutually dependent on one another.  In systems theory, the organization is
dependent on the environment around it and the environment is also dependent on
the organization.  The learning organization
focuses a lot on teams and team work. This teamwork allows the organization to
be so productive that they are capable of producing extra which is relevant to
the idea of synergy.

organization, provide (1) a detailed example of a company that failed to adapt
