This contribution draws from severalresearch sources in order to develop on an organizational learning frame ofreference towards ecological implementation in business companies. 1. It willdemonstrate the necessity for companies to protect their production systemsfrom over demands through the establishment of various legitimating functionsin the company. 2. The paper will also show that rational decision makinginstruments (like capital investment planning) per se not adapt to ecologicaldemands, but to the contrary hide the ecological decisions taken in thedecision making process 3. Based on these empirical case studies we thereforecan develop the organizational-learning-structure for ecological learning. Thelearning-issue is completed with the different modes of decision making inbusinesses (strategic choice, optimization, competition driven). Thus, thispaper aims at overcoming the many myths regarding pressures posed on companies,both from the consultant community and different green pressure groups, bydemonstrating that companies reactions (even defensive) are rational from thelearning perspective.
