Conclusion:
Understanding of the ways in which people learn enables organisation to teach workforce useful skills and prepare labour to the change to avoid resistance. It also gives opportunity to motivate people for self-improvement and professional progress, which is very important at the times of change. To conclude I want to say, that for any organisation it is of the crucial importance to understand the ways in which people learn, as learning is the key to improvement, efficiency and success of the organisations. Moreover, it is not enough to understand these ways, but also to implement them, being the learning organisation itself. Lack of learning brings degradation to the people and stagnation to the companies. At the point, when management recognises it, resistance to change could be managed. This knowledge gives the key to the management to make any change not only acceptable, but also desirable by the workforce.
