This chapter proposes that learning improvements in organizations are not just a matter of techniques or aptitudes but are concerned with feelings, attitudes, and, above all, the moral habits of their members. This work suggests complementing currently established conceptions of knowledge management and organizational learning through the explicit inclusion of ethics and ethical learning in organizations. The study describes the explicit need to consider ethics and ethical learning competence among agents in a learning organization context. It then points out the differences between ethically healthy organizations and ethically unhealthy organizations. Finally, the authors argue that the ethical healthiness of an organization is an essential, structural, and necessary condition to achieve a comprehensive learning process in learning organizations on both a technical and human level.

Thus today, organizations are aware of the necessity to become learning organizations and to maximize organizational learning. Organizational learning process is composed by three sub-processes: a learning process, a knowledge management process and a social process. A web platform based on learning organization memory can answer to needs of all these sub-processes. This paper's aim, within the approach MEMORAe, is to model and design an organizational learning support. To that end, in order to take into account all the identified needs, it proposes to associate: educational engineering (e-learning), knowledge engineering (knowledge management and semantic web) and social engineering (web 2.0 technologies). This support is a web platform using ontologies, semantic annotations and Web 2.0 technologies in order to organize, share, and capitalize organizational competences, knowledge and resources. This article specifies concepts of learning organization, organizational learning and it underlines the existence of the three different sub-processes in this learning form: learning, knowledge management and social. It presents all these sub-processes and their needs.

The most important factor that protects organizations from solidifying is knowledge. In an organization, knowledge is produced by people and these people learn. However, learning alone is not sufficient for the success of the organization. For a lasting and sustainable process, organizational learning is required. The basic condition for the realization of organizational learning is the existence of an atmosphere that encourages individuals to learn. In the organizations that provide the necessary atmosphere for learning, both the individual's learning capacity increases, and learning as a team takes place in the organization. In this study, first, knowledge, knowledge types, individual learning, organizational learning, levels of learning, and learning organization concepts are covered. Second, different models for realizing the learning organization structure are narrated. Last, some examples from learning organization practices are mentioned.
