  1. Hi Renuka, Apart from what you have mentioned,Education and learning drive change in organisations, which is why organisations usually set up learning processes (Hannah & Lester, 2009). Education can be seen as ‘instruction or training by which people learn to develop and use their mental, moral and physical powers’
