      Applies totally

    • B.

      Applies to a great extent

    • C.

    Explanation
    Learning from both failures and successes is a fundamental aspect of personal and professional growth. It allows us to understand what went wrong in our failures and make improvements, while also recognizing what worked well in our successes and replicating those strategies. By acknowledging that we can learn from both outcomes, we open ourselves up to continuous learning and improvement. Therefore, the statement "We learn from failures as well as successes" applies totally, to a great extent, and to a moderate extent.

    Top level management plays a crucial role in shaping the vision of an organization. Their support and commitment are essential for the successful implementation of a learning organization. When it is stated that the vision of a learning organization applies totally, it means that the top-level management fully supports and actively promotes the idea of a learning organization. When it applies to a great extent, it implies that the support is significant but may not be as comprehensive or consistent. When it applies to a moderate extent, it suggests that there is some level of support, but it may not be a top priority for the management. Lastly, when it applies to little or no extent, it indicates that the top-level management does not support or prioritize the concept of a learning organization.
