Bond is the network for over 290 UK-based non-governmental organizations working in the international development and development education. The organization stresses the barriers to organizational learning as due to bias for action, failure to hold discussions, and lack of commitment. On the other hand, organizations may fail to grow due to political issues and these are most common in the United States. The writer then gives the solutions to these barriers, which among them are; changing the ways of thinking, transfer of knowledge, and skills and good governance. China has already achieved this and it is continually improving on organizational learning, which makes it to have the fastest growing economy in the world.

China's development is praised by the whole world. Its developments are not only in the economic aspect, but as well in its foreign affairs. Compared with other developed countries, China is a relatively young country. It began constructing itself in 1949. After 30 years of growth, company ownership had experienced unprecedented changes. Entirely, non-state-owned companies can now be more involved in sectors that used to be monopolized by state-owned companies.
Picture a ninth grade student sifting through piles of papers that are stuck between the pages of their textbook looking for their paper that is being collected. Now imagine a tenth grade student searching through a massive pile of math papers that are past due in hopes they can get some credit. No more onto an eleventh grade student who is frantically searching through a pile of assignments in a no name basket with a small amount of hope to locate their assignment in order to get full credit. Finally, a senior is receiving their written paper back, with feedback, from the teacher stating they missed answering questions two and three. What common theme is there between these? Missing assignments, lost papers, and incomplete tasks are commonalities
