Kozubska, Joanna; MacKenzie, Bob – Action Learning: Research and Practice, 2012
Here, we argue that action learning (AL) has been evolving into different variations, whose respective advocates appear to concentrate on one of the several components inherent in Revans' formulation of AL as L = P + Q.
