too detailed information, very beneficial

[Sitha · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book helped me a lot for my thesis. Of course it's too general if you look for specific topics like TNA, Evaluation or Design. But this can be a good reference.

good book

[Santosh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok as a textbook for "T&D" or "L&D" course.
Typically taught as a elective for MBA, often opted by students wish to specialize in HR.

It nicely covers four core areas in L&D, viz. need analysis, training design, training delivery, and training evaluation.

However, many recent areas in training are not covered.
Like technology use in training. Influence of social media on L&D, MOOC, upcoming areas like metaverse, various technology's used in training are not covered. Design thinking, Agile training design. Role of L&D head or path to L&D head - will also add value.

Book will also benefit from some comprehensive case studies.
A case or discussion on use of L&D as a strategic tool will add value.

L&D is very close to OD (Organizational design and change) consultants.
Hence a coverage on L&D problem solving, some key skills for L&D Consultants will add value.

Off-course a serious learner - will use the book as a anchor and learn/read these topics on his own else where. A basic listing is available here 13 books on L&D learners

Honestly, I've read much better books about I/O psychology and management (and I've read only a handful). This one uses MBTI for it's examples. And is quite repetetive and uses too much words to explain quite simple things. Also the company examples it uses are too much American-centered. Even though this book isn't ment only for Americans. Average is the best word I can label it with. 2,5/5.

This book served as a great foundation in this subject. It’s jam packed with information. I had to read this for a course in my MBA program.

Actually liked reading this book. It met all the objectives it set out to cover. All of the Professor's assignments were taken from the book...discussion questions, application exercises, and case papers. Part of our grade was setting up an interactive computer based training (CBT) module which was discussed in the book. The class itself stretched me academically and exercised my critical thinking skills. Enjoyed the text, the class, and especially Professor Michelle Smith, PhD. I usually rent my text and return them after I've completed the class, but I'm actually thinking of keeping this one.

This is one of the best textbooks I have used in my school career. If you want a deeper understanding of the material then this book may not be the right one for you. This book focuses more on helping someone new to the human resources who is looking to understand what helps make up a training and development employee program. I found the definitions clear to understand, the examples very helpful in further understanding the definitions, the diagrams were throughout the book and visually helped me understand what all the written material were trying to convey. This is a very great resource textbook that has made my class so much easier.

current class book

how do i read it?

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is in serious need of an editor not only for grammar but also for updated tech terms. It also needs an added section on Bloom's taxonomy and a separate chapter on legal compliance. In addition, the separate chapter on tech teaching strategies should be merged with the chapter on teaching strategies in general. Tech and teaching are no longer two separate concepts. Good stuff and worth the read; some editing would make it much more enjoyable.
