Training Programmes are directed toward maintaining and improving current job performance, while development programmes seek to develop competencies for future roles. In the new millennium, the knowledge revolution has brought tremendous changes in information technology. The training inputs cannot remain constant because of the dynamic pace of change. Obsolescence will occur fast as there will be constant gap between the job requirements and the individual’s capabilities. As such there is need of greater emphasis on acquainting the trainers and HRD professionals with the emerging approaches and concepts. Training and development activity both in terms of quantity and quality will need to be augmented. In order to fulfil the needs of curriculum of increasing management students, trainees, and trainers, this text has been attempted for Indian conditions. This book will provide total and uptodate knowledge on the subject of training and development.
