Summary |
This book is written for management and trainers. It reviews the significant issues involved in the training of managers and considers how training should be integrated with the total activities of the enterprise. There are three factors that contribute with equal importance to the effectiveness of training the organization, the trainer and the trainee. Close collaboration between them enables training to be useful. Lack of three-way cooperation makes training a wasteful luxury. Viewed this way, the effectiveness of training will depend on several factors: clear analysis of the organisation’s training need; the strategy and training methods that would enhance the trainee’s knowledge of his job and provide him with an understanding of behaviour; the top management’s conception of training and how they integrate it within the orgranisation; the support of training by the organisational structure and administrative practices in the company. Only when management develop a training philosophy that includes in its policy an integrated, or total approach, can formal training in an organisation serve the purpose for which it is set up.
