Netzwerke und lernende Regionen als Orte organisationspädagogischer Forschung und Praxis

Networks and learning regions are discussed from the perspective of organizational and educational research and practice. A stakeholder consensus is crucial for the development and long-term maintenance of networks. It comes to coalitions of interests, so that the networks are solidified. Training and educational providers can respond adequately to the complex demand structures when (educational) institutions and organizations cooperate. Also, individual discontinuous educational biographical transitions can be supported and facilitated by networking and be optimized through professional advice. Interorganizational collaborations affect leadership and management processes. In this regard an ethics-oriented leadership style, which is characterized by appreciation, participation and fairness, can be seen as particularly successful and effective. Finally, a brief description of applied basic, transfer and implementation research and a conclusion are given.
