Using Transferable Techniques to Navigate the Weightless Economy and Anchor Intellectual Capital

This paper describes a number of research projects carried out in the United Kingdom and elsewhere as part of a three-phase university research project on Master of Business Administration (MBA) teams. Building upon the earlier work, the aim of the later phase was to extend the offline into the online field of virtual teams. A number of techniques for eliciting tacit, as well as explicit, learning outcomes were piloted. Contrasting paradigms of learning and development are discussed and some issues and trends in terms of lifelong and lifewide learning are noted
