Abstract
The aims of this memorandum are to secure, promote and further the continuity, quality and development of organizational education research. Research in the field of organizational education explores organizational behavior, especially organizational learning and change, from an educational perspective. By identifying key research topics in organizational education and by developing these within the academic community, the field can be increasingly systematized and institutionalized.
The memorandum1 is intended to promote understanding of the program and topics of organizational education research among the academic community. Its purpose is to support the integration of organizational education in research policies and in higher education policies. This includes the creation and expansion of academic posts and programs in the field of organizational education at universities. The memorandum is also designed to encourage greater funding of organizational education research at the national and European level. Furthermore, the memorandum can serve as a frame of reference for interdisciplinary dialogues on organizational development between researchers and practitioners.
In the following, this memorandum first provides a basic definition of organizational education as understood by both the authors and the members of the EERA network 32 (organizational education) and a discussion of same. Secondly, central focal areas of research in organizational education are outlined. And, lastly, potential approaches that can be used to undertake research in the field of organizational education are described.
