for an organization where people 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 how to learn together. THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE =
fuses these features into a coherent body of theory and practice, making =
the whole of an organization more effective than the sum of its parts.

to Coopers and Lybrand, have adopted the disciplines of the learning =
