  This text in its third edition has been adapted to an age of competence-based qualifications, technology-assisted learning and continuous development. With its combination of exercises, comprehensive references and extensive material for reflection and discussion, it also offers full scope for self-development. The authors critically review the national framework and examine changing attitudes to education, the main theories of learning and the organisation as a learning system. Employee development, they argue, is a form of strategic activity which must be carefully tailored to the demands of individual organisations. There follows detailed, practical discussion of needs assessment, planning, implementing and evaluating training. All these themes are brought together in a book suited to IPM students of Employee Development; it will also play its part in far wider efforts to improve the quality of British training.
