“…Boyatzis and Akrivou (2006) suggest to reduce the influence of the 'ought self' as someone else's interpretation of what a person's ideal self should be. Dowrick (2012a) proposes to get rid of familiar aspects when creating a self-model, and Kaiser Feldhusen, and Fordinal (2013) suggest to overcome the boundaries of the present to discover who one wants to be. At the same time, all authors remain unclear on how such a process can potentially look like from a learning/unlearning perspective.…”

In response to criticism on the concept of 'unlearning', we suggested that unlearning on an individual level should be defined as the reduction of the influence of old knowledge on cognitive and/or behavioural processes. In this article, we apply a systems thinking perspective on this definition to explore how far this kind of unlearning can possibly go and what happens if this process is inward-directed, i.e. affects the cognitive and behavioural patterns that define who we are. We take a knowledge perspective on the concept of the self and suggest that unlearning could trigger a disequilibrium, which in turn, enables a deep learning process and guides us to what is referred to as ideal or best version of the self. This does not only have implications for the individual level but it can initiate fundamental change processes in organizations.

“…Kaiser et al propose two approaches to realize one's best version of the self on an individual level as well as on an organizational level (Kaiser, Feldhusen, and Fordinal 2013;Kaiser and Fordinal 2010). They are based on the idea that the discovery of one's vocation and true self is essential to create a sustainable vision.…”

“…Spillane (2015) regarded organizational learning as various adjustments for the fundamental belief, attitude & behavior, and structural arrangement in the process to cope with environmental changes in order to enhance the operating effectiveness and the permanent survival and development of enterprises or institutions. Such adjustments were realized through formal and informal interpersonal interaction (Kaiser et al, 2013). An organization would change the decision-making plans and directly perform on the information processing when detecting uncertainties and risks in the environment; organizational learning was the process for the change cycle (Carey et al, 2011).…”

In face of the rapidly changing environment and unpredictability of tourist hotels as well as rising consumer needs, constant learning is necessary for tourist hotels to maintain the competitive advantage and survival. Continuous learning is therefore required for organizations and individuals in tourist hotels; however, the learning levels and types are distinct. To enhance the international competitiveness, a tourist hotel has to effectively absorb, transfer, and even create new knowledge for the effective innovation. For this reason, "organizational learning" and "knowledge creation" become the keys in the future research on innovation. Total 360 copies are distributed, and 304 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 84%. The research results are concluded as below. 1) Organizational learning shows significantly positive correlations with knowledge creation. 2) Knowledge creation reveals remarkably positive correlations with organization innovation. 3) Organizational learning presents notably positive correlations with organization innovation. 4) Knowledge creation appears mediation on the relationship between organizational learning and organization innovation. Finally, suggestions, according to the research results, are proposed, expecting to enhance the market share and profitability of tourist hotels and to maintain the sustainable management and development.

“…The more vivid and inspiring a vision is, the more benefits it has to all concerned. Moreover a vision development process can be described as a knowledge creating process as well [5]. A sound method of developing visions in companies is an appropriate and important instrument within the whole knowledge management of a company, since not only the aspect of knowledge creation is covered but also knowledge sharing transfer and exchange.…”
