The purpose of this study is to contribute to the interest in arts-based learning as part of the growing literature on artistic initiatives in business contexts, by advancing the understanding of the potential of arts-based business learning that people can yet fail to benefit from. We draw on Weick’s framework for how people construct meaning in organized situations and on a qualitative study of an art seminar in business education to consider arts-based learning in the face of pitfalls that can prevent people from engaging in approaches that differ from their usual ones and from which they can learn. We show that people can benefit from the potential of arts-based business learning when collective meaning-construction processes such as sensemaking or sensegiving can unfold and work in an iterative, active and intense way, to take people towards new experiences. Our study also highlights the usefulness of taking a perspective centred on ongoing collective meaning-construction processes and of focusing on both learning activities and learning situations when studying business learning.

这项研究的目的是通过增进人们对基于艺术的商业学习潜力的理解，使人们仍然无法从中受益，这是对基于艺术的商业计划在商业环境中不断增长的文学的兴趣的一部分。 。我们借鉴了韦克关于人们如何在有组织的情况下构建意义的框架，并基于对商业教育艺术研讨会的定性研究，以在面临陷阱的情况下考虑基于艺术的学习，这种陷阱可能会阻止人们从事与平时不同的方法并从中学习。我们证明，当集体的意义建构过程（例如意义创造或感觉给予）能够以迭代，活跃和激烈的方式展开和运作时，人们可以从基于艺术的商业学习中受益，使人们获得新的体验。我们的研究还强调了在进行商务学习时，以持续进行的集体意义构建过程为中心的观点，并同时关注学习活动和学习情况的有用性。
