Betreff: evaluation of training methods
Dear Colleagues,
I am currently preparing an undergraduate course in Human Resource Development and am looking for key research articles that examine the effectiveness / strengths and weaknesses of various training methods, or compare and contrast different training methods. Any references you can pass on will be appreciated.
Gratefully yours,
Jamie
