This special issue gives an idea of how some organisations are addressing the issue of e-learning @ the workplace. This issue is the outcome of a call for papers that asked authors to explore the capacity of e-learning for strengthening corporate performance and building competitive advantage in the present-day workplace and to consider the extent to which the utilisation of technology can enhance the learning process and provide practitioners with the leverage to manage knowledge for organisational gain. Papers that are conceptual or empirical, case-study-based, or based on sector-wide-analyses are provided. The papers underwent a careful selection and review process, and those presented here are “academic” in terms of rigour, but “approachable” in terms of readability and practical content.
