Abstract

Evaluates how HRD needs which arise from different business strategies will depend on, among other things, the purpose and structure of the strategies involved. Considers the motivation for strategic HRD, expenditure and responsibility. Concludes that a strategic approach to training and development necessitates increased theoretical rigour, more rigorous evaluation of effectiveness, and resolution of responsibility for training.
