Answer to Question 1

D
Peter Senge is best known for his pioneer work on learning organizations. His own definition of
learning organizations is organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the
results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective
aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together (Senge,
1990, p. 3).

Answer to Question 2

D
Organizational mission statements state the purpose of the organization. Questions that need to be
asked when developing this statement are What do we stand for?, What principles are we willing to
defend?, and Who are we here to help? The question of where we are going pertains to more
long-range goals, which are reflected in the vision statement of an organization.
