Book excerpt: The development of Human Resource has assumed importance particularly after the government's focus on HRD, introduction of liberalized economy and globalisation of world trade. This has led to world trade competition. For this purpose, every corporate entity sought ISO certification, which enjoins on the industry to impart regular training to its workforce. Thus training has taken centerstage. HR is now considered as human capital and much importance is given to the development and training of this unique resource. The one area in HR that found global visibility is training. Training has a direct relationship to HR's concern about human capital development and globalisation of workforce. People want to study at their own pace and time. The exciting development area is therefore e-learning. Keeping the above developments in view, it is imperative that business organisations should develop their own internal resources for training and development of their workforce. While giving stress on management development, most organizations ignore development and training of operatives who constitute the bulwark of their human capital. This aspect has been suitably taken care of in this book. This comprehensive book covers all aspects of training and development starting from conceptual inputs to management of training environment, instructor's competencies, transfer of learning, IT based training, to mention a few should be presented to line managers.
