Crowdsourcing is one of the new themes that has appeared in the last decade. Considering its potential, more and more organisations reach for it. It is perceived as an innovative method that can be used for problem solving, improving business processes, creating open innovations, building a competitive advantage, and increasing transparency and openness of the organisation. Crowdsourcing is also conceptualised as a source of a knowledge-based organisation. The importance of crowdsourcing for organisational learning is seen as one of the key themes in the latest literature in the field of crowdsourcing. Since 2008, there has been an increase in the interest of public organisations in crowdsourcing and including it in their activities. This article is a response to the recommendations in the subject literature, which states that crowdsourcing in public organisations is a new and exciting research area. The aim of the article is to present a new paradigm that combines crowdsourcing levels with the levels of learning. The research methodology is based on an analysis of the subject literature and exemplifications of organisations which introduce crowdsourcing. This article presents a cross-sectional study of four Polish municipal offices that use four types of crowdsourcing, according to the division by J. Howe: collective intelligence, crowd creation, crowd voting, and crowdfunding. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the management personnel of those municipal offices. The research results show that knowledge acquired from the virtual communities allows the public organisation to anticipate changes, expectations, and needs of citizens and to adapt to them. It can therefore be considered that crowdsourcing is a new and rapidly developing organisational learning paradigm.

The article analyses the main factors determining the socio-cultural dynamics of nowadays and affects the processes of intercultural communication . The key factor is the fourth industrial revolution being the convergence of the digital, physical and biological worlds, urbanisation and the widespread introduction of information and communication technologies . The author noted that the development of new technologies generates “digital inequality” . The widespread of the Internet the author considers not only as a means of free communication but also as a new paradigm of consciousness — as a means of digitalisation of cognitive processes . The author also noted that widespread digitalisation generates new forms of labour and social relations . It contributes to the leaching of the middle class . It has been revealed that a significant factor in the sociocultural dynamics of nowadays is super mobility and reactivity, what generate instability, uncertainty about the future, as well as elimination and deformation of traditional value paradigms . The author concluded that it is necessary to build new models of intercultural communication, as well as to consolidate efforts at all levels — from governments and international organisations to public organisations, all civil society and individuals . There is need for constructive cooperation to create not only an effective system of international law but also of the formation of voluntarily accepted ethical norms and mechanisms, established on an equal level by equal participants — a constant, regular dialogue and cooperation at the local, national or supranational level .

PurposeThis paper aims to take a critical view of the concepts of the Learning Organisation and Organisational Learning (LO/OL) and respond to two questions about their current state: are existing perspectives on LO/OL still fit for purpose? What are the possibilities for an alternative paradigm of LO/OL?Design/methodology/approachThe paper critically reviews the literature of LO/OL and uses the concept of problematisation together with some guiding principles from ancient wisdoms to articulate an alternative paradigm.FindingsTwo waves of LO/OL are identified. A first wave rests on a series of assumptions that have shaped a predominant understanding of LO/OL, including the suppositions that all learning is good; that those organisations adopting LO/OL strategies are engaged in useful work and in pursuing socially valuable ends; and that neo-liberal beliefs favouring market-based solutions are the most appropriate response to organisational problems. A more reflexive approach to LO/OL has challenged these predominant views, and although it has had little impact on practice, it paves the way for a possible second wave perspective. With the help of a theoretical excursion of Taoism and Buddhism, the authors portray a possible picture of a new paradigm for LO/OL.Originality/valueWhilst existing critical accounts have problematised the mainstream assumptions of LO/OL, they have not clearly indicated any different perspectives. Drawing upon ancient wisdom, the paper identifies some guiding principles for an alternative LO/OL paradigm and discourse.

The Right

Public organisations provide training to enhance their employee’s capabilities to provide better services. Public organisations use different learning methods to enhance their employee’s skills and service offering. Therefore, public organisations are considering different learning programmes such as classroom training, coaching, mentoring etc. For the organisations to be effective in providing the learning programs to their employees, there is a need to have an approach to support these efforts. This study suggests that Organisational Learning Capability (OLC) is the right approach to do that. This is because OLC facilitates the learning process. The study proposes an OLC model consists of the key elements that represent the definition of OLC; these are the learning processes, enablers, influential factors. This paper explores how organisations can bridge the gap between investments in learning initiatives and improvement in service provision in public organisations. The context of this study is the creation of a set of learning and development programs in the public services organisations. The top OLC model helps to define all other learning programmes where the coaching learning program is presented in this paper.

And Training

Efforts to implement the concept of autonomous transport in the shipping industry are currently underway with the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS), which is expected to usher in a new paradigm in maritime trade. However, this requires a stable supply of highly qualified seafarers. Predicting the changes necessary for seafarer education and training in the MASS era is pivotal for the safe and efficient development and operation of autonomous ships. The present study conducted a survey using Q methodology on fourth year students of the Korea Maritime and Ocean University (KMOU), to examine their perceptions towards changes in ship organizations, and the competency of seafarers required in the MASS era. From the analysis, we extracted three unique clusters of cadets’ perceptions towards new competencies with the introduction of MASS: “the traditional seafarers’ centric role retainer”, the “ship organizational structure domain achiever”, and the “new technical competences builder”. The emerging findings can predict the educational needs and new competences of seafarers in the MASS era, as well as support managerial implications. These results are expected to serve in establishing the future direction of seafarer education and training in both private and public organisations.

AbstractSolar filaments are discussed in terms of two contrasting paradigms. The standard paradigm is that filaments are formed by condensation of coronal plasma into magnetic fields that are twisted or dimpled as a consequence of motions of the fields’ sources in the photosphere. According to a new paradigm, filaments form in rising, twisted flux ropes and are a necessary intermediate stage in the transfer to interplanetary space of dynamo-generated magnetic flux. It is argued that the accumulation of magnetic helicity in filaments and their coronal surroundings leads to filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections. These ejections relieve the Sun of the flux generated by the dynamo and make way for the flux of the next cycle.
