newspapers, Greece, Switzerland
This paper investigates comparatively the extent to which Greek and Swiss newspaper
firms have established a learning-oriented corporate culture and enacted human
resource development policies facilitating lifelong both individual and organizational
learning and advancement. The results suggest that although Swiss newspaper firms are
closer to their transformation into learning organizations than Greek ones, both industries
display organizational learning inhibiting deficiencies that need to be handled by
newspaper managers.
