Training for Development

The world of training has undergone a phenomenal expansion in the past decade and this can be attributed to factors like technology, mobility, rapidly escalating global markets and diversity. More and more people are working from home, work is spread across the map spanning across different time zones and not just simple business process outsourcing but also complex strategic negotiations and implementations. This book has focused the change in training scenarios from the classic approaches to more strategic concerns and decisions taken not just in boardrooms but across the organization. The book though published in September 2011, definitely has a futuristic approach because all its nuances are highly applicable today five years down the line in the modern millennial era. While there are many others who have tried to touch upon this topic much after this book, including Fien et. al. in their popular authorship Work, Learning and Sustainable Development: Opportunities and Challenges but they restrict their approach to the first two factors - technology and mobility while only making passing mentions of culture, diversity and policy.
