Abstract
Three steps must be implemented
if a training programme is to be
successful. The first is the
identification of needs to identify
what training is required. The
second is an analysis of the firm to
identify the issues that will affect
the ability of the firm to exploit
new skills. The third is an
evaluation of the training to
ensure that sufficient resources
are applied to implement and to
integrate the training programme.
These latter two steps come under
the heading of learning transfer.
The article presents the findings of
an application of this approach.
The analysis shows the richness of
the information that results from
this approach and outlines its
operational importance for
managers engaged in decisionmaking
or in the design of training
programmes. In addition, it
suggests the next steps in the
research towards improving the
tools available for the evaluation
of training.
