Abstract
The relationship between information systems (IS) and organisational learning has long been claimed but not sufficiently empirically grounded (Robey et al., 2000). This paper examines this relationship by drawing on a longitudinal study of the Slovenian company Sava during its 1995-2004 transition period when it adapted to and prospered in a free market economy. The company is particularly interesting because of the pivotal role information systems (IS) played in supporting organisational learning during its successful transition from a socialist company operating in a protected market to a privatized company operating in a capitalist global market. By providing insights into the role of various IS in organisational learning and in the company’s successful transition, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between IS and organisational learning which is relevant and inspiring to other companies, especially those undergoing radical change.
