Organizational Learning and Learning Organization

1. Please      provide a definition of "organizational learning." 
2. Is      there a difference between the notion of "Organizational      Learning" (OL) and that of the "Learning Organization"      (LO)? Are we anthropomorphizing (great word!) organizations when we say      that they "learn"?    

3. Please describe the extent to which you believe Mercedes Benz is also a "Learning Organization." If so, how does your organization "learn"? What has your organization "learned," and through what mechanism(s)?
