An analysis of competitive forces

If this is the "Age of the Learning Organization," surely creating leaders who can build learning-oriented competitive advantage should be a big business. Nohria and Berkley of the Harvard Business School have estimated that corporate expenditures for training have grown from $10 billion to $45 billion during the past decade. Business Week estimates that approximately $12 billion of this amount was devoted to executive education. The growth in expenditures for executive programs is a result of the increasing recognition that education and leadership development are powerful levers in communicating and implementing key strategic initiatives.
