Learning organization is a mission; it’s not bydeveloped country in the entire world used crisis management courses and texts inuniversity and colleague. To know this you can see Learning organizationmanagement in several natural and disnature Learning organization.Method: According the importance of topic, learning organization criteria in I.A.U.this research is applied research. Population is all of the top and middle managementand faculty from I.A.U.in this research use Cochran model to select sample ofpopulation 385 persons.Finding: The result of research shows, the ideal relationship between an organizationand its knowledge management Program should mirror the pattern of “courtship,”“engagement”, and “marriage” that occurs in romantic love, and, to a degree, thisalready has begun to take shape. After all, we have observed knowledge managementactivities in organizations for quite some time. The field of knowledge Managementhas its roots in the works of philosophers who spent much effort probing theepistemological issues of knowledge.Results: According to the study in this research, suggested: In discussion with seniormanagers at the regional offices, we learnt that the regional approach rather than anorganization-wide endeavor gives theBenefit of shorter lead-time between thought and action. Organization-wideendeavors take years to be executed owing to the sheer mass of personnel, networks,and inter-relationships that require management. Regional efforts are substantiallyless time-consuming owing to the close-knit ties and commonality found betweenlocal offices. One adverse effect of this strategy was the difficulty in sharingknowledge beyond the individual regions. Since each region deployed its own toolsand initiatives to capture and store knowledge, exchanges between regions becameCumbersome, with email as the only viable exchange mechanism Manuscript profile

Wittgenstein's account of philosophy and the researches performed by him in thefield of human behavior has got vast consequences on humanities and the studies onhuman being as a social and cultural creature. As the study of these phenomena is, infact, the study of voluntary behavior of human being-any behavior subsumes undernorms and criteria which have certain rules and normative constrains, having haddefinite reasons for producing and consuming these productions- Wittgenstein 'sphilosophy could provide a convincing philosophical and logical background toexplain the impact of culture on creating an artwork.Method of this research is documentary and the results are obtained from thedocuments which are gleaned from Wittgenstein’s philosophical system.According to later Wittgenstein, language is the context of the emergence ofcultural and social phenomena, and art, as a language, is related to the culture and theform of life of a linguistic community .So the creation of an artwork occurs in acultural context.

In other hand political dimension isin crisis circumstance.Results:According to the study in this research, suggested: In educational researchand technology dimension must be attention: The term engagement has differentmeanings depending on its context. We most commonly hear the word when we saythat two people are engaged to be married. This condition normally means that theyare seriously committed to each other’s ell being, have mutual romantic feelings,understand each other’s behavior well enough to accept one another, and are planninga happy future together. For a marriage to be successful, the two parties must beseriously interested in each other. They must be able to understand how eachcomplements the other. Ideally, there will be areas to complement and areas where thetwo’s skills overlap. They must enjoy spending time together, seeking advice fromeach other, playing together, and even working hard together. They must have acommon dream that guides their actions. Unless most or all of these conditions aremet, chances are that the two parties will eventually go their separate ways. Manuscript profile
