Evaluating (quantitatively and qualitatively) training and development activities should be an important part of strategic activities within organizations. Discuss the training evaluation process, starting with the concept of a training needs analysis, to a discussion of the importance of transfer of training, to a discussion of the ways that the benefits can be computed (cost-benefit analysis, return-on investment analysis and benchmarking). Also, briefly discuss the benefits (study-wise) of some of the more common training approaches (lectures, intercultural competence training, succession planning, on-the-job training, and online training approaches). Do they work or not? As well as discuss why management modeling, coaching, and mentoring are valuable parts of management development efforts. Remember to use APA format for in-text reference citations and bibliographical references.
