Lazarević J. Lukić The aim of this paper is to analyze the importance of acquisition, generation, application and transfer of knowledge among employees, which represent very important basis for efficient development of learning organization, and based on it, the concept of smart organization. Learning and development of employees have become the key factors which make difference between successful and unsuccessful organizations, but also a factor that provides the necessary condition for achieving and sustaining competitive advantage in the market. Motivation for this paper is the fact that smart organizations require new features of organizational design which will ensure responsiveness to change, flexibility, and adaptation to the environment through continuous and dynamic processes of learning, training and development of employees. The starting research questions of the paper were: (1) What are the key characteristics of smart organization?, (2) What are the key features of its structure and design?, (3) What are the key processes and activities that support learning and development of its employees? and (4) Is every smart organization, learning organization? By literature review and using Galbraith's Star Model for designing organization, we identified all necessary changes in strategy, structure, processes, employees and rewards that organizations need to pursue in order to become smart.The conclusion is that only those learning organizations which align all elements of organizational design and effectively use their learning abilities to create value are smart organizations. conferenceObject 256 268 Employment, Education and Enterpreneurship 2015 ''Creative education for employment growth''
