Dear @Zeeshan, "Argyris (1977) defines Organizational Learning as the process of detection and correction of errors. In his view organizations learn through individuals acting as agents for them: "The individuals' learning activities, in turn, are facilitated or inhibited by an ecological system of factors that may be called an organizational learning system"! There are many other definitions,Huber (1991), Weick (1991)...
Regarding Learning Organization, "Senge (1990) defines the Learning Organization as the organization "in which you cannot not learn because learning is so insinuated into the fabric of life." Also, he defines Learning Organization as "a group of people continually enhancing their capacity to create what they want to create."!
Ang & Joseph (1996) contrast Organizational Learning and Learning Organization in terms of process versus structure.!
A Learning Organization (as coined by Peter Senge in his book "The Fifth Discipline") is a term for an organization that continually develops and facilitates the learning and development of its members. To a certain extent, learning organizations are action oriented, and are geared towards using specific diagnostic and evaluative methodological tools which can help to identify, promote and evaluate the quality of learning processes inside organizations (Easterby-Smith and Araujo, 1999; Tsang, 1997). As companies naturally grow, their line of thinking becomes rigid, and there is a need to develop these organizations into Learning Organizations so as to continue their development, maintain new knowledge about products or services outside their own that may compete with theirs, comprehend the internal and external environment of the organization, and produce creative and innovative solutions through and with the help of its members.
On the other hand, Organizational Learning (as coined by Argrys and Schon) is under Organizational Theory which focuses and studies on the manners and ways organizations adapt and learns. This is a facet of Organizational Development because Organizational Learning is the interaction that takes place within the individual members of the company. Finger and Brand (1999) stipulates that Organizational Learning is the activity and process by which the organization eventually reaches the ideal Learning Organization. You can view how an organization learns cognitively as a whole, or community based within specific networks within the system.

No theory or model of organizational learning has widespread acceptance. This paper clarifies the distinction between organizational learning and organizational adaptation and shows that change does not necessarily imply learning. There are different levels of learning, each having a different impact on the strategic management of the firm.
A learning organization is the term given to a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself. Learning organizations develop as a result of the pressures facing modern organizations and enables them to remain competitive in the business environment.

Organizational learning
Organizational learning is an area of knowledge within organizational theory that studies models and theories about the way an organization learns and adapts (Vasenska, 2013:615).
The learning organisatiion, in its smallest essence starts from 'I'.
If I conform to needed learning (of course for total development), the basics of learning organisatiion have already started grounding. Gopinanath asserted this " continuously transforms itself." It however deserves NOT organisational culture; but INDIVIDUAL's culture. Say if it is single man's army, then what Kalpana states is well endorsed. As Hamid says organizational learning is the outcome of learning CULTURE? size matters. One size does not fit all. so it becomes complicated when the size enlarges from single man's army to the size of an Army
