    The term ``learning organisation{\crqq} is used to describe organisations which are learning quickly and become more effective thanks to this concept. In these organisations learning is a motivational force which heightens short and long-term efficiency. Learning organisations are highly innovating and flexible. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore different definitions of learning organisation and to investigate the description of culture endorsing learning in those organisations. Velkoobchod papírem LIPA was chosen as an example of a small but rapidly developing company which tries to apply the concept of learning organisation. As a case study, this company was examined, in an attempt to determine the degree to which it might be described as a learning organisation and if the culture endorsing learning is present in this organisation or not. The research was conducted in the Czech Republic through questionnaires in December 2006. The research data collected provides insights into the nature of learning organisations and specifically provides evidence which suggests that Velkoobchod papírem LIPA can be considered as a learning organisation. The main evidence for this assertion is the balanced evaluation which meets the minimal limit of 4 points or more of each of the characteristics. The research data also showed that in LIPA Velkoobchod papírem is appropriate culture supporting learning. This statement is corroborated by the results of the analysis of the collected data. The recommendations for Velkoobchod papírem LIPA in connection with collected data are to focus on information technology, the sharing of information and inter-organisational learning.
