41. By focusing on a constructed learning network (CLN), in contrast to an organic network that develops naturally, a CLN is a conscious attempt to build a network with Owners-Managers from SMEs to facilitate learning.
42. krAft stands for competence, reflection, business development and growth (www.kraftprov.nu).
43. The author of this article also participated in the network as an outside observer.
44. The theoretical framework was gradually built in iteration between theory and empirical studies.
45. In an organisational context the similar concepts, single and double-loop learning, can also be used.
46. Knowledge, ability, desire, preparedness to change or understanding how to change practice.
47. Methods based on theory centred lecturing.
48. Example from the empirical data is that a manager reported acquired knowledge about organisational development and wanted to try it in his firm but since the company was sold to another company the manager could not implement his new knowledge.
