Abstract
In this paper we direct the field of management and organization learning toward the betterment of the global human condition. Through the metaphor of the global meeting, we develop the core agenda for scholarship in management and organization learning: learning for positive global change, cooperative advantage and anticipatory learning, learning in innovative organizational forms, and large group-learning dynamics. For this agenda to be effective in constructing positive global change, the discovery and education endeavors of scholars in this field must change to accommodate the new learning realities mirrored by the global meeting: relationality, participation, flexibility and transboundary thought, organizing and action.Keywords
