Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of San Francisco, 1997.

As the complexity of organizational leadership and management increases due to technology and globalization, managers are needed who have a global orientation and the ability to co-create organization learning environments. This calls for a new understanding of management and leadership and new forms of management education which incorporate international and transformative learning. The problem is that organizations, both in the United States and in China, are not designed to learn, rather they are designed to control. Most management education is designed to teach the methods and techniques developed from behavioral science theory and does not prepare managers for working in continuously changing, complex organizations.

520 $a As the complexity of organizational leadership and management increases due to technology and globalization, managers are needed who have a global orientation and the ability to co-create organization learning environments. This calls for a new understanding of management and leadership and new forms of management education which incorporate international and transformative learning. The problem is that organizations, both in the United States and in China, are not designed to learn, rather they are designed to control. Most management education is designed to teach the methods and techniques developed from behavioral science theory and does not prepare managers for working in continuously changing, complex organizations.
520 $a Turning bureaucratic institutions into learning organizations requires changes in the assumptions and beliefs of managers and leaders, new understandings of how people work together creatively. Transformational learning comes through dialogue and conversation.
520 $a Hermeneutic field-based research was used, with conversations taking place in the United States and China. Participants include organization leaders and management consultants and educators. The conversations were interpreted using hermeneutic theory with some comparisons being made of the differences in beliefs and management practices in the United States and China.
520 $a Some of the changes taking place in business organizations in China were quite surprising. Participants from both Chinese and American companies doing business in China commented on how few barriers exist for business development. The main factors for success center around relationship building and management development. Participants from the United States suggest that these same two factors may be the keys to success for American business organizations.
520 $a The author concludes that a successful transformation for business and educational organizations into the 21st century will require: Learning that is transformative and creates new understanding through meaningful conversation; transformative leadership which challenges and changes existing beliefs and assumptions and takes place through relationship; global relationships around the world which are grounded in communicative action; and globalizing management education.
