Abstract :
The article examines the operational benefits of having a learning organization include at the very minimum increased organizational competitiveness and responsiveness in a given realm of competition. Military simulation worlds have served and continue to serve as practice fields for organizational learning. Organizational learning mechanisms like the simulation debriefing session have been linked to organizational learning through a taxonomy for rare events. This research provides both descriptive and prescriptive findings for military interactive simulation and debriefing systems. Some suggestions for simulation system design are made based on the research
