| Abstract | Informal learning has become an extremely important issue as post-industrial workplaces seek to harness its productive potential. Managers and HRD practitioners have attempted to deploy informal learning in the design of corporate cultures, however, most discussions of the subject have tended to be uncritical expositions which do not challenge the underlying economic, philosophical and organisational rationale. Uniquely, this book goes against this tendency. It critically examines definitions of informal learning, and focuses on its application in a variety of workplace contexts. It features:
theories of informal learning
the unmasking of contemporary corporate rhetoric
the implications for accounts of workplace learning of poststructuralist and post-modern perspectives.
Incorporating case studies based on interviews with practising managers and HRM practitioners, and a detailed glossary of key concepts and issues, this book will be a valuable reference for students of workplace learning. |

| AbstractList | Uniquely, this book critically examines definitions of informal learning, and focuses on its application in a variety of workplace contexts. It includes case studies based on first hand interviews and a detailed glossary. This book examines the rhetoric surrounding the notion of informal learning in order to expand debate about the uses of informal learning in workplaces and about attempts to "recognize" it through competency-based standards. The following topics are among those discussed in the book's eight chapters: (1) the nature of informal learning in the workplace (the discourses shaping informal learning, differences between informal and incidental learning); (2) theorizing informal learning (theories of informal learning, why informal learning has become so important, the politics of learning from experience, postmodernism and informal learning); (3) work as a learning environment and the language of human resource development (HRD) (conditions of learning at work, learning organizations, competitiveness, aligning educational goals with industry needs); (4) the hidden curriculum of learning at work (strategies of postindustrial workplaces); (5) professional identity and self-regulation at work (corporate language about worker empowerment, self-directed learning, and identity); (6) the performativity principle in informal learning (new links between industry and education); (7) rhetorizing informal workplace learning (informal learning and the training of "economic subjects"); and (8) doubts about postmodern doubt (possible future of HRD practices). Appended are the following: overview of research methods; glossary; and 327-item bibliography. (MN) Informal learning has become an extremely important issue as post-industrial workplaces seek to harness its productive potential.
