Description:

A contributed work covering advances in learning curve research theory and applications, this book draws a learning map to demonstrate where learning is involved within organizations and how it can be sustained, perfected, and accelerated. It reviews developments in research and explores the learning-quality relationship. The text explains how to improve learning curves using the Earned Value Method (EVM) and through the design of thinking systems. It also offers a chapter that reviews the Forgetting Curves.
