Abstract [en]

Organizational learning has the power to gift an organization with a competitive advantage. In our society the most competitive form of organization is probably the armed forces of every nation. This is because of the fact that if the armed forces isn´t at top of its competitive advantage the chance of losing increases, and compared to a commercial organization, a military organization won’t just lose money if it’s not at its peak, it may lose lives and its nations independence. A report from the Swe-dish army have shown a deficiency in the army´s learning when it comes to reporting experiences. This Essay looks deeper into the learning of the Swedish armed forces who have made a claim to be a learning organization. It does so by a text analysis on the army’s fundamental manuals and doc-trine´s analyzing them with Visser´s theory of military learning capacity. The results from the text analyses show that the fundamental manuals and doctrine´s almost fully encourages the necessary factors to inhibit a positive learning cycle according to Visser´s theory. The Biggest flaw according to the text analyses was that the documents didn’t show enough evidence of a system to store and spread the experiences within the army.
