From the Paper:

"Organizations cannot exist in isolation. Anne Morrow Lindbergh's quote "If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others" (Lewis, 2007) supports that for organizations to survive they will have to flourish in their environment through depending on one another and learn to use the information derived to form their own unique knowledge. Organizations are constantly facing the demands of a fast paced world and will have to be strategically positioned through learning and adaptation to effectively compete and sustain core competencies."
