1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter the concepts of Human Resource Management, Training and Development needs
and methods, Executive Development programmes are discussed. The systematic approach to
training by identifying needs, setting objectives, designing policy and conducting training in an
effective way with follow up and evaluation is discussed. In the last section, needs, criteria and
methods of evaluating effectiveness of training and development programmes are discussed in
detail.
Organization is the process of combining work which individuals or groups has to perform with
the facilities necessary for its execution, that the duties so performed provide the best channels
for efficient, systematic, positive and coordinated application of the available effort.
HRM is the planning organizing directing and controlling of the procurement, development,
compensation, integration, maintenance of human capital of an organization to achieve
individual, organizational and societal objectives.
HRM MODEL
The model developed by American Society for Training and development (ASTD) identifies
nine human resource areas:
42
6. Personnel Research and Information Systems
7. Compensation/Benefits
8. Employee Assistance
9. Union/ Labour Relations.
The purpose of training is to achieve a change in behavior of those trained and to enable them to
do their job better in order to achieve this objective. Any training programme should try to bring
changes in:
Knowledge- It helps a trainee to know facts, policies, procedures and rules pertaining to his
job. Skills-It helps him to increase his technical and manual efficiency necessary to do the
job and Attitude- It moulds his behavior towards his co-workers and supervisors and creates
a sense of responsibility in the trainee.
Training is a short term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which non-
managerial persons learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose.
The terms „Training‟ and „Development‟ are used synonymously. But they have different
meanings. While training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for
doing a particular job, the Management Development includes the process by which managers
43
and executives acquire not only skills and competence in their present job, but also capacities for
future managerial tasks of increasing difficulty and scope.
Development is a long- term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which
managerial persons learn conceptual and theoretical knowledge for long term use.
1. Job requirements
The employee selected for a job might lack the qualifications required to perform the job
effectively. New and inexperience employees requires detailed introduction for effective
performance on the job. In some cases the past experience, attitudes and behavior patterns of
experienced persons may be in appropriate for new organization.
2. Technological Changes
The technology is changing fast. Increased use of fast changing techniques requires training in
mew technology. New jobs utilizing latest technology require new skills. Both new and old skills
require training.
3. Organizational Viability
In order to survive and grow an organization must continuously adopt itself to changing
environment. With increasing economic liberalization and globalization in India, Business firms
are experiencing international competition. So the firms must upgrade their capabilities. An
organization must build up a second line of command through training in order to meet the future
needs for human resources.
44
4. Internal Mobility
Training becomes necessary when an employee moves from one job to another due
to promotion or transfer.
Thus there is an even present need for training people so that new and changed techniques may
be taken advantage and improvements in old methods are effected. Need for training has
increased due to growing complexity of jobs, increasing professional management, growing
uncertainties in the environment, global competition, growing aspirations vast untapped human
potential, ever increasing gaps between plans and results and suboptimal performance levels.
Importance of Training
Benefits of Training
45
3. Training improves safety awareness and trained employees are less prone to accidents.
4. Training enables an employee to adapt to changes in the work procedures and methods.
5. An employee can develop himself and earn quick promotion.
6. Training develops new knowledge and skills which remains permanently with him.
Types of Training
Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly training programmes may be the
following types.
Induction training seeks to adjust newly appointed employees to the work environment. Every
new employee needs to be made fully familiar with his job, his supervisor and subordinates with
the rules and regulations of the organization. The induction training creates self confidence in
new employees.
Job training
It refers to the training provided with a view to increase the knowledge and skills for improving
performance of the job. Employees may be taught the correct methods of handling equipments
and machines used in the job. Such training helps to reduce accidents, waste and in efficiency in
performance of the job.
Safety training
Training provided to minimize accidents and damage to machinery is known as safety training. It
involves instruction to perform the work safely.
Promotional training
It involves training of existing employees to enable them to perform high level jobs. Employees
with potential are selected and they are given training before their promotion. So that they do not
find difficulty to shoulder the higher responsibilities of the new positions to which they are
promoted.
46
Refresher training
When the existing techniques become obsolete due to development of better techniques,
employees have to be trained in use of new methods and techniques. Refresher training is
designed to revive and refresh knowledge and update the skills of existing employees.
Remedial Training
Remedial training is arranged to overcome the shortcoming in the behavior and performance of
old employees. Remedial training shall be conducted by psychological experts.
EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
1. Analysis of development needs: - First of all the present and future development needs of the
organization are ascertained. It is necessary to determine how many and what type of executives
are required to meet the present and future needs of the enterprise.
47
2. Appraisal of the present managerial talent: - A qualitative assessment of the existing
executives is made to determine the type of executive talent available within the organization.
3. Planning individual development programmes: Each one of us has a unique set of physical,
intellectual and emotional characteristics. Therefore, development plan should be tailor-made for
each individual.
5. Evaluating developing programs: - Considerable money, time and efforts are spent on
executive development programmes. It is therefore natural to find out to what extent the
programme‟s objective has been achieved.
Methods of development or executive development can be broadly divided into two categories.
1) On the job development or executive development: it means increasing the ability of the
executives while performing their duties, to develop them in real work situation. It includes the
following methods:
a) On the job coaching: under this method superior only guides his subordinate about various
methods and skill required to do the job. Here the superior only guides his subordinate he gives
his assistance whenever required. The main purpose of this type of training is not only to learn
the necessary skills but to give them diversified knowledge to grow in future. The superior is
responsible for subordinate‟s performance. So the superior must always provide the subordinate
necessary assistance whenever required.
48
b) Understudy: under this method of development the trainee is prepared to fill the position of
his superior. He in the near future will assume to do the duties of his superior when he leaves the
job due to retirement, transfer or promotion.
c) Job rotation: here the executive is transferred from one job to another or from one plant to
other. The trainee learns the significance of the management principles by transferring learning
from one job to another. This method helps in injecting new ideas into different departments of
the organization.
d) Committee assignment: under this method committee is constituted and assigned a subject to
give recommendations. The committee makes a study of the problem and gives suggestions to the
departmental head. It helps the trainees because every member of the committee gets a chance to
learn from others.
2) Off the job development or executive development: here the executives gets the training off
the job means not when they are doing the job. It involves following methods:
a) Special courses: here the executives attend the special courses which are organized by
the organization. Under this experts from professional institutions provide them the training.
b) Specific readings: here the human resource development manager provides copies of specific
articles published in the journals to the executives to improve their knowledge. The executives
study such books or articles to enhance their knowledge.
c) Special projects: under this method the trainee is given a project related to the objective of
the department. The project helps the trainee in acquiring the knowledge of the particular topic.
d) Conference training: here the organization conducts a group meeting. In which the executive
learn from the others by comparing his opinion with others.
49
the individual and ability to understand others. T group generally sits together and discuss for
hours where the members learn about their own behavior and behavior of others.
The flow chart given below shows various stages of systematic approach to training and
development.
Identifying training
needs
Setting training
objectives and policy
Designing training
programme
Conductiong training
Follow up and
evaluation
All training needs must be related to the specific needs of organization an individual
employees. A training programme is launched after the training needs are assessed and
50
identified clearly. The effectiveness of a training programme can be judged only with the
help of training needs identified in advance.
1. Organizational Analysis
It involves a study of the entire organization in terms of its objectives, its resources,
resource allocation and utilization, growth potential and its environment.
It is systematic and detailed analysis of jobs to identify job contents, the knowledge, skills and
aptitudes required and the work behavior. Attention is paid to tasks to be performed, methods
used, the way employees have learnt these techniques and performance standards required is
analyzed in this stage. The purpose of operation analysis is to decide what should be taught.
3. Manpower Analysis
In this analysis the persons to be trained and the changes required in the knowledge, skills and
attitude of an employee is determined. First of all, it is necessary to decide whether performance
of employee is below standard and training needed. Secondly it is decided whether employee is
51
capable of being trained. Thirdly, the specific areas in which employee requires training. Lastly,
whether training will improve employee‟s performance or not is determined.
Training can be relevant and viable if the three types of analysis given above are carried out on
continuously.
The overall aim of a training programme is to fill in the gap between the existing and the desired
pool of knowledge, skills and aptitudes. Objectives of training express the gap between the
present and the desired performance levels.
i. To impart to new entrants the basic knowledge and skills for efficient
performance definite task.
ii. To assist employees function more efficiently by exposing them to latest concepts,
information and techniques and developing the skills they require in the particular job.
iii. To build up a second line of competent officers and prepare them to occupy
more responsible positions.
iv. To broaden the narrow minds of senior managers through interchange of experience
within and outside so as to correct the narrow outlook caused due to over specialization.
52
f) Operational results to be achieved through training e.g. Productivity, cost, down time,
creativity, turnover, etc.
g) Indicators to be used in determining changes from existing to the desired level in terms of
ratio and frequency.
In order to achieve the training objectives, an appropriate training policy is necessary. A training
policy represents the commitment of top management to employee training. It consists of rules
and procedures concerning training.
Once the objectives and policies of training are decided, appropriate training programme can be
designed and conducted. Decisions on the following items are required for this purpose.
1. Responsibility of training
53
2. Selecting and motivating target group
The type of training method to be used will depend upon the type of persons to be trained. So it is
necessary to decide in advance who are to be trained workers, supervisors or executives. The
employees will be interested in training if they believe that it will benefit them personally. A climate
conducive for learning has to be created through physical and psychological environment.
3. Preparing Trainers
The success of a training programme depends to a great extent upon the instructors or the
resource persons. The trainer must know both the job to be taught and how to teach it. He should
have an aptitude for teaching and should employ right training techniques.
This step involves deciding the content of training, designing support materials for training and
choosing appropriate training methods. It may involve the specific instructions and procedures
for doing a job. In addition to the contents, methods and time period it also includes budget.
Supporting materials may include detailed syllabus, study notes, case studies, pamphlets, charts,
manuals, brochures and movie slides.
This is the action phase of training. Here the trainer tells, demonstrates and illustrates in order to
put over the knowledge and operations. However, before it a learner should be put to ease. It is
necessary to explain why he is being taught to develop his interest in training. Instructions should
be clear and complete. Key points shall be stressed upon and one point should be trained at a
time. Trainees should be encouraged to ask questions.
54
Follow up and Evaluation
In the evaluation step, the effectiveness of training programme is assessed. The feed back
generated through follow up will help to reveal weaknesses or errors if any; Necessary
corrective action can be taken. If necessary training can be repeated until trainees learns
whatever has been taught to him. It also helps in designing future training programme.
2.INDUSTRY PROFILE
1. SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
2.1 INTRODUCTION
It’s not the incident of recent time when the software industry taking a better place in the
global community. It’s already having been started in the early 80’s and after the
revolution in the telecommunication field and the introduction of the Internet. Today we
are totally surrounded by the software solutions either directly or indirectly it’s become a
part of our life. A small device like our cell phone doesn’t work without the proper
implementation of a mobile software .We requires automated software for our washing
machine. Every part of our nation’s economy working on a platform which is given by
MNC’s in the form of software. There are several challenges for the software companies
either they made a small software of the work or large projects. There are many constraints
associated with the development of software, within their boundary the companies have to
achieve their target. If they fail to manage and predict these constraints they cannot survive
in the crowd. So it is essential for the modern and comparatively a large software sector
that it has to manage the different constraints as well as their development plans and
methods. The dynamic risk estimation plays a crucial role in the whole story of success
and failure. If we become more certain about our project risks related to the different
phases of working model we can survive easily than others. There is a view of our quickly
developing software industry.
AN OVERVIEW OF INDIAN SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

low cost programming abroad to providing comprehensive software development
services from India for overseas clients an abundant pool of Indian technical
manpower, created a series of elite technical and management institution that
responded to serve global shortage of technical manpower.

HISTORY OF SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
The word "software" was coined as a prank as early as 1953, but did not
appear in print until the 1960s. Before this time, computers were programmed either
by customers, or the few commercial computer vendors of the time, such as UNIVAC
and IBM. The first company founded to provide software products and services was
Computer Usage Company in 1955.
The software industry expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after
computers were first sold in mass-produced quantities. Universities, government, and
business customers created a demand for software. Many of these programs were
written in-house by full-time staff programmers. Some were distributed freely
between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done on a
commercial basis, and other firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation (founded in
1959) started to grow. Other influential or typical software companies begun in the
early 1960s included Advanced Computer Techniques, Automatic Data Processing,
Applied Data Research, and Informatics General. The computer/hardware makers
started bundling operating systems, systems software and programming environments
with their machines.
When Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) brought a relatively low- priced
microcomputer to market, it brought computing within the reach of many more
companies and universities worldwide, and it spawned great innovation in terms of
new, powerful programming languages and methodologies. New software was built
for microcomputers, so other
3
manufacturers including IBM, followed DEC's example quickly, resulting in the
IBM AS/400 amongst others.
The industry expanded greatly with the rise of the personal computer ("PC") in
the mid-1970s, which brought desktop computing to the office worker for the first time.
In the following years, it also created a growing market for games, applications, and
utilities. DOS, Microsoft's first operating system product, was the dominant operating
system at the time.
In the early years of the 21st century, another successful business model has
arisen for hosted software, called software as a service.
ORIGION OF SOFTWARE
The birth of the software industry in India began in 1970 with the entry of Tata
consulting Services (TCS) into the domain of outsourced application migration work. In
the late 1960s, the Tatas created TCS as a central service center for Tata Group companies.
A few young MIT-trained Indian professionals were recruited, and a large compute system
was imported. With IBM having been thrown out of India, the concept of outsourcing
application development work had become a necessity for Indian companies. Utilizing its
excess computer capacity, TCS began doing outsourced application work for organizations
such as Central Bank of India and Bombay telephones. Within a few years TCS began
sending young Indian engineers to a joint venture partner in the United States, Burroughs,
for training. The trainee engineers excelled at doing platform conversions, and TCs started
earning conversion assignments for its engineers in Germany and else where. Later a new
company named Tata – Burroughs was formed Tata was keen to exploit the personnel
placement or ―body shopping‖ opportunities whereas Burroughs was interested in selling
hardware to the Indian market.
The industry was begun by Bombay based conglomerates which entered the business by
supplying global IT firms located overseas with programmer. Their success owed to the
innovative exploitation of a new global market opportunity and protection from
transnational corporations and startups by policy. The explanation on origins is the same as
used to explain industry origin in countries such as Korea and Japan – with the difference
that while government policy favored large domestic firms and discouraged TNCs and
small firms in those countries, in India, government policy disfavored all types but was
least hostile to large, domestic firms. In economic terms, the effect was the same as the
more typical protectionist policy.
The protected environment restricted the growth of project management and domain skills
so that, despite access to a large pool of programmers, the industry could not grow in value –
addition.
A decade later, mainframe – based programming and manufacturer- specific operating
systems and languages gave way to workstation based programming and standard operating
systems and high level languages. These changes modularized the programming function i.e.,
programming could henceforth be done independently of the hardware platform and from the other
functions of creating software, such as system design. This, along with policy reforms that reduced
costs of imported hardware and software, caused the Indian software industry to shift from
supplying programmers to supplying software programs. As work moved to India, infrastructural
costs increased as a proportion of total costs. This caused the industry to relocate from Bombay to
Bangalore.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To examine the effectiveness of training in overall development of skills of workforce.
To examine the impact of training on workers.
To study the changes in behavioral pattern due to training.
To acquire a thorough knowledge base on subject of Training and Development.
To study how Training and Development programmes are undertaken in t. organization.
To know process of Training and Development at kambaa incorporation
To study the induction programme at kambaa incorporation
To study the effectiveness of Training and development in the organization.
To measure the satisfaction level of employees regarding training and development
1. Since objective of the study was not to find any relationship between perceived Training
effectiveness and the increase in the financial performance, it is crucial to investigate whether HR
managers and training managers are interested in finding out relationship between training
effectiveness and financial performance of the organizations. This really needs for increased
awareness of the part of managers to investigate the effect of training activities on performance
of the organization. The performance of the organization does not solely depend upon the
training department in the overall performance of the organization can be studied.
2. This study as well as some parallel studies have indicated that the organizations prefer to get
their training evaluated from their in house faculties rather than the third party evaluation.
Therefore, there is a need to study why organizations are reluctant to be transparent when
organizations in their annual report talk about satisfying stake holders and of good corporate
governance.
3. 3. The present study has analyzed the effectiveness of training from the view point of the
employees (from the filled questionnaires) and employer (from the discussion with Hr managers).
The further research could be in the area of impact of training on the customers’ satisfaction. This
is important as it is ultimately the customer who buys the product, contributes to the profit of the
Organization and from this surplus only the employee’s salary is being distributed. If customer
does not buy your product, even the Six Sigma quality of training does not help for success of the
organization.
4. LIMITATIONS
The limitations of the study include the following:
1. The study did not establish the relationship between the methods of delivering training and
training effectiveness. For establishing relationship longitudinal data must be collected and
studied over the long term to determine whether there is a linkage between training and improved
business performance.
2. 2. Data was collected on the basis of one-time. This limits our understanding on transfer of
training, which occurs in varying period of times.
3. 3. From the present study, benefits of an effective training program cannot justify the costs of
training. Therefore, there is need for utility analysis.
4. 4. This study only measures employees’ perception towards training effectiveness. Data
collected from a single source might be affected by factors associated with social desirability.
5. 5. The respondents of this study were the employees in a public sector organization and they
were chosen by using a convenient sampling technique. So the nature of this sample may
decrease the ability of generalizing the results of this research to other private sectors.
6. 6. The Sample size of the respondents was not enough, and all the four hundred questionnaires
were not homecoming with useable data. Perhaps the findings may be more significant if I could
have received all questionnaires properly filled. Due to limited size of the sample, conclusions
reached by this study may not be entirely applicable to other service organizations.
7. 7. Characteristics such as length of the training and quality of the training environment were
not considered in the study.
CHAPTER – II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1. Review of Literature This chapter deals with the review of the previous studies relevant to
the field of training and development. Kuldeep Sing (2000) has selected 84 organization from
business representing all the major domestic industries questionnaire has developed by Huselid
(1993) are used to study training. The objectives of the study are to examine the relationship
between training and organizational performance which shows that Indian organizations are still
not convinced of the fact that investments in human resources can result in higher performance.
Alphonsa V.K. (2000) has conducted training climate survey in a large private hospital in
Hyderabad. 50 supervisors from different departments of the hospitals randomly selected for the
study. The researcher used training – climate survey questionnaire (Rao-1989). “The analysis of
training climate as perceived by the supervisors” Covered various aspects such as corporate
philosophy policies superior, subordinate relationships, valued performance features and
behaviours, interpersonal and group relationship. The results showed that reasonably good
training-climate is prevailing in this organization but the supervisors’ perception about training-
climate differs according to their respective departments. A study conducted by Shiv Kumar
Singh and Subhash Banerjee (2000), ”Trainer roles in Cement industry”, says that ,today the
Indian Cement Industry is the second largest in the world. There has been tremendous growth of
activities in the Indian Cement Industry in terms of modernization, in order to keep pace with
such modernization/expansion due to technological development, a strong manpower base
equipped with latest development has to be built with in Cement Industry, New Training 35
initiative has to be taken at all levels. A Trainer’s main objective is to transfer his knowledge and
skills to the Trainees. This paper is focused on the Trainer Roles in Cement Industry, the factors
which are important to become an effective Trainer. This involves identifying training courses,
choosing appropriate Training methods, evaluation of Training activities, and helping the Trainer
to deliver good Training to the Cement Industry. A study on “HRD strategies at various levels in
construction organisations” by Singh, S. K. and Banerjee, S. (2000), reveals that construction is
the second largest economic activity in India, and accounts for half of the nation's investment or
development. In this article the authors briefly discuss the HRD strategies at various levels in
construction organisations. Many sectors of the construction industry are in urgent need of
technological upgradation. An effort to develop manpower by the organisations will directly
show results in the bottom line. Since there are not many professionals imparting training in
construction - related aspects, refreshers training is essential and some concrete efforts in
imparting systematic technical training is necessary. Binna Kandola (2000) has discussed some
of the difficulties associated with accurate and useful evaluation of training effectiveness
particularly in the department of soft skills which include skills relating to people management.
The author highlights some existing training evaluation techniques and then outlines a model of
training evaluation which currently is found to be successful in the United Kingdom. Moses
(2000) observed that companies can no longer guarantee employees promotions to the top, it is
important that training and development help employees with career planning and skills
development. Some organization fear that career planning will communicate to employees that
their jobs are at risk, but it can be framed differently to communicated that they are willing to
invest in helping employees reach their potential. Companies can also help ease employees’
minds by making career planning a standard part of their employee development process of
downsizing or restructuring. When a company communicates to their employees that they are
marketable outside the 36 organization, yet still invests in their training and development, it
makes a strong statement to workers that they are values, and many are compelled to offer a high
level of commitment. Logan, J.K (2000) illustrated that retention is a complex concept and there
is no single recipe for keeping employees with a company. Many companies have discovered,
however, that one of the factors that helps retain employees is the opportunity to learn and try
new things. The Gallup Organization also supports this contention, as they found “the
opportunity to learn and grow” as one of the critical factors for employee retention. Companies
that offer employee development programs find success with retaining workers. Sears has found
that in locations where managers work to help their employees grow professional turnover is 40
to 50 per cent less than in stores where that relationship does not exist. Wagner S (2000) in his
study on “Employees Speak out on Job Training: Findings of New Nationwide Study,”
highlighted employee development programs are experiencing higher employees satisfaction
with lower turnover rates although salary and benefits play a role in recruiting and retaining
employees, people are also looking for opportunities to learn new things, the challenge of new
responsibilities, and the prospect of personal and professional growth. The Gallup Organization
found that employee satisfaction and retention are high when a company is willing to train its
workers. Lance Gray and Judy Mc Gregor (2001) have compared 100 New Zealand surveys for
workers aged 55 years and over, and another one for employers. The issue of older workers
captured respondent attention with both studies receiving response roles of around 50%. The
congruence of attitudes among older workers and employers regarding the efficiency was
negative. Training stereotypes is a feature of the study. Older workers are in some agreements
that there is difficult to train less willing to lean and afraid of new technology older workers saw
provision of training as a concern with 11.6% reporting discrimination with regard to training.
Significantly, skilled older workers saw the provision of training was a signal by employers that
they are to be taken as serious contributors. 37 Olga et al (2001) is concerned with how MNCs
differ from indigenous organization in relation to their training needs and whether this
relationship changes across countries. The question is whether local isomorphism is apparent in
the training needs of MNCs, or whether MNCs share more in common with their counterparts in
the countries. A series of hypothesis has been put forward and tested using survey data form 424
multinational and 259 indigenous organizations based in the UK (United Kingdom) and Ireland.
The result suggests a hybrid form of localization. Where MNCs adopt their practices to
accommodate national differences but that these adaptations have not reflected convergence to
domestic practice. The results also indicates that the MNCs are selective in the training practices
that are adopted. Evidence from this study indicate that country difference in career traditions and
labour market skill needs are key drivers in the localization of associated training. In contrast
MNCs, irrespective of national Content adopt comparable systematic training frameworks (i.e.)
Training and identification evaluation and delivery. Yadapadithaya (2001) studied the current
practices of evaluating training and development programmes in the Indian corporate includes
High pressure for increased quality, innovation, and productivity acts as a major driving force for
the Indian corporate training and development programmes, Most of the key result areas of
training and development function are related to the measurement and evaluation of training
effectiveness. Nearly 6 per cent of the private sector, 81 per cent of the public sector, and all the
MNCs evaluate the effectiveness of training in one way or the other, The major purpose of
evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of the various components of a training and
development programme. Organizations rely mostly on the participants’ reactions to monitor the
effectiveness of training. An overwhelming majority of the organizations use “questionnaires” as
an instrument to gather relevant data for evaluation, In most of the cases, evaluation was done
immediately after the training. Majority of private and public sector organizations use one –shot
programme design and more than half of the MNCs also use single group, pre-test and post-test
design for evaluating the effectiveness of training and development programmes. Absence of
transfer of learning from the place of training to workplace has been a major perceived deficiency
of the 38 corporate training and development system. Indian Corporate sector is currently facing
the challenge of designing and developing more valid, reliable and operational measures to
evaluate the effectiveness of training and development. Radhakrishna, Plank, and Mitchell (2001)
studied using a learning style instrument (LSI) and demographic profile in addition to reaction
measures and learning measures. The three training objectives were to assess knowledge gained
through a Webbased training, to determine participant reaction to Web-based material and
Listerv discussion, and to describe both the demographic profile and the learning style of the
participants. The evaluation of the training began with an on-line pretest and an on-line LSI. The
pretest included seven demographic questions. The LSI, pretest and post test, and LSI
questionnaire were paired by the agent’s social security numbers. Fifty-five agents of the
available (106) agents completed all four instruments and were included in this study. A study
conducted on “Return on investment in Training” by Bettina Lankard Brown (2001) reveals that
training and development efforts are big business in the United States, with the amount of money
spent increasing every year. However, changes in the economy and declining profit margins are
prompting many businesses to question the value of their training investments. Do businesses
benefit from their expenditures on employee training or are they merely preparing their workers
for jobs elsewhere? When workers bear the costs of such training, do they realize personal
benefits or does the employer reap the only rewards? This study examines myths and
misconceptions about who pays and who reaps the Return On Investment (ROI) in training.
Investments in Training are assumed to have positive returns. A number of studies, including one
conducted by the Australian National Training Authority (2001), have found that skills and
training produce the best results, where training is a part of an overall business strategy. This is
supported by Knuckey and Johnston (2002) in New Zealand, where a survey of businesses
identified a high proportion of “leaders” engaging in training compared with “laggers”. This
concept also underpins the “Investors in People” standard in the UK. 39 Training strategies in the
emerging hi-tech banking environment by Basu, Kishanjit; Satish, P. (2001) implies that, like all
other institutions, banks have to organise, develop and manage their human resources effectively
in order to achieve their goals. Their major responsibility in this regard is to build up a right mix
of skills and attitude among their employees. For achieving this, a continuous process of training
interventions in banks is a must. However banking the world over, including India, is undergoing
a change, transforming itself into technology based, specifically, IT [Information Technology]
based banking. This transformation calls for a radical departure from the existing training
strategies. While upgraded technology calls for training in both hardware as well as software, the
methods and content of training delivery are also likely to undergo change. Computer based
training, distance learning, Internet based training, etc. would be increasingly used in this
emerging scenario. The role of a trainer would also be more of a facilitator than a knowledge
disseminator. The need also exists for a matching input of commitment building and attitudinal
orientation along with skill inputs if the totality of the organisation’s needs is considered. In the
fast changing situation, banks cannot afford to be away from new technology if they want to
continue to be relevant in the market. With the Indian banking industry entering an era of hi-
technology, the training strategies have to keep pace with this transformation, albeit with a re-
emphasis on the human side of the enterprise. Srivastava (2001) has evaluated the effectiveness
of various training programmes offered by the in-house training centre of Tata Steel, Shavak
Nanavati Training Institute (SNTI), India. The effectiveness of the training was measured in
terms of various outcomes such as satisfaction level; reaction and feedback of participants; and
change in performance and behavior as perceived by participants, their immediate supervisors,
and departmental heads. The sample consisted of sixty departmental heads, fourteen hundred
participants and thirteen hundred immediate supervisors from various departments. The data were
collected through structured interview schedule. It was found that the satisfaction levels of
participants, their superiors, and divisional heads were above average for all types of
programmes. The participants were benefited from the programmes, but transfer of learning was
not as expected form their supervisors. There 40 were changes in the post training performance
ranging from 10 to 37 per cent. The training programmes could meet the objectives only to a
limited extent. Ogunu (2002) in his study titled “Evaluation of Management Training and
Development Programme of Guinness Nigeria PLC” examined the management training and
development programme of Guinness Nigeria PLC, Benin City with a view to ascertaining its
relevance, adequacy, and effectiveness. A convenience sampling design was adopted, whereby
the researcher used all the 50 management staff in the company’s Benin Brewery as subjects for
the study. Data was collected by administering a questionnaire titled ‘Management Training and
Development Questionnaire’ (MTDQ) that was developed by the researcher. Hypotheses testing
in the study revealed that facilities for staff training were adequate for effective training of
management staff, training programmes for management staff were relevant to the jobs they
performed, and the training programmes undergone by the staff did indeed improve their
performance and effectiveness at works. A Study by Barnes and Kennard (2002) in Australia
suggest that factors other than increased skill have mainly contributed to Australia’s recent
productivity surge. They also comment that there does not appear to be a strong correlation
across countries between labour productivity growth and movements in skill composition
towards skilled workers. Some countries with large contributions of skill change, such as France
and the UK, do not have very high labour productivity growth. Having said this, they believe that
education and skills remain important for long-run growth. Another study by L. Holladay,
Jennifer L. Knight, Danielle L. Paige, & Miguel A. (2002) investigated how the Effects of
Training, Course title, Training content, Training assignment, and Gender influence participant’s
attitudes in this study. They have found that women were influenced by the training content and
not by the organization standing. Giannationio and Hurley (2002) have presented a study on
“Executives insights into training practices”. Over 1100 human resource training executives
responded to a 41 survey concerning their perceptions of the training issues their companies are
facing the role of training in their organization the skills training employees should possess, and
the substantive training knowledge that graduates of training programmes should be able to
demonstrate results suggest the most important issues facing training executives today is
managing the change Executives felt that it has been extremely important for the professionals to
be able to create a recruitment program in today’s labour market. The result of this research
provides several implications for the design and the delivery of training educational programme.
Natarajan and Deepasree (2002) made a study on “Training climate in the burn standard company
limited, Salem”, a Public sector undertaking. A prepared questionnaire was distributed to 145
employees at random. This result shows that training climate in the organization appears to be at
an average level of (50%). There is a good deal of scope for improvement. Training climate
facilitates the employees in acquiring capabilities required to perform various functions
associated within their present or future expected roles and developing their capabilities for
organizational development has been suggested by Sharad Kumar and Sabita Patnaik (2002). The
performances of the roles depend upon the individual perception regarding the effectiveness of
performing the role and various organizational factors. A study on Qualitative Research Designs:
Selection and Implementation by John W. Creswell (2003) University of Nebraska–Lincoln
William E. Hanson Purdue University Vicki L. Plano Clark Alejandro Morales University of
Nebraska–Lincoln provides a detailed study about qualitative research design and its application
in the research. “Evaluation of executive training at NLC Ltd.: a case study” by Selvam,
M.;Panchalan, R.(2003) examines a transfer of learning to the workplace and evaluation of
tangible or intangible benefits of training to the business are rare phenomena in practice. This
study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of executive training programs of 42 NLC Limited, a
public sector undertaking located at Neyveli, Tamilnadu. Seven major factors were identified and
adopted for the evaluation of training. Under each of these major factors, relevant sub-factors
were incorporated for assessment. Fifteen executive training programs were selected under [the]
random sampling method. From each training program, 15 respondents were selected for the
evaluation of training. The results of the study showed that the training programs of the
respondent organisation are generally effective. Out of the seven major factors adopted for the
evaluation of training, this method of presentation dominated the rest of the major factors. The
transfer of learning to the workplace as a major factor contributed significantly to only four out of
15 training programs chosen for evaluation. It showed lack of follow up activities after training at
NLC. “The impact of workplace support and identity on training transfer: a case study of drug
and alcohol safety training in Australia” by Ken Pidd (2004) suggests that, previous research has
indicated that the transfer climate of work organisations is an important factor in determining the
degree to which knowledge, skills and abilities gained in training transfer to the workplace. In
particular, workplace social support from supervisors and coworkers is consistently cited as an
important factor that can facilitate or inhibit training transfer. However, research evidence
regarding the impact of workplace social support on training transfer is mixed. In order to address
this issue a study was conducted to identify under what conditions workplace social support
impacts on training transfer. This study evaluated a workplace drug and alcohol training
programme to examine the impact of workplace social support and identification with workplace
groups on training transfer. Results indicated that the influence of workplace social support on
training transfer was moderated by the degree to which trainees identified with workplace groups
that provided this support. This study supports the proposition that in order to fully understand
training transfer, and to design effective training programmes, training research and practice
needs to focus on both the personal and situational factors that may interact to influence learning
and transfer. A study on “Mixed Methods Research” by Julia Brannen (2005) Institute of
Education, University of London provides complete idea on how a mixed method 43 strategy
works out during the research process, the research design phase, the fieldwork phase, the
analysis phase and contextualization. This paper proposes to define mixed method research Set
out some of the reasons why mixed methods may currently be in the ascendancy and identify
opportunities and risks attached to these for researchers Consider some of the main rationales for
choosing a mixed method research strategy the three Ps, paradigms, pragmatics and politics

Quality criteria, teaching mixed methods, writing up mixed methods research “Management of
corporate culture through local managers’ training in foreign companies in China: a qualitative
analysis” by Crystal L. Zhao (2005) found that corporate culture is a complex phenomenon in
foreign companies located in the People's Republic of China. For the management team of an
international enterprise, it is a challenging task to manage cultural differences. Education and
training provided to local managers might be one of the important solutions. Therefore, this study
explores the effects of local managers’ education and training on corporate culture in foreign
companies in China. Using qualitative research, this paper presents different training forms
existing in foreign companies. Furthermore, the training in general in terms of establishment of
corporate culture was evaluated. General training is classified as formal and informal training or
coaching in accordance with training purposes. Formal training refers to training that is
indispensable to the survival and development of the corporation, while informal training is
concerned with the training that happens without deliberate design or purposes. The two kinds of
training can develop local managers in a complementary way. It is argued that these elements
exert a complementary influence on corporate culture with an emphasis on values and rituals.
“In-company training in Catalonia: organizational structure, funding, evaluation and economic
impact” by Marcos Eguiguren Huerta, Xavier Llinàs Audet and Olga Pons Peregort (2006),
describe the status of training in Catalonia’s large companies, from an economic and
organizational point of view. The results are based on empiricaldescriptive research conducted
with a sample of large and medium-sized businesses. It 44 analyses the organizational structure
of the businesses and the type of organizational structure in relation to training. From the
economic point of view it seeks to identify the cost of training and the importance assigned to the
different levels of evaluation of that training in the companies. This study also compares the
status of training in Catalonia’s large companies with what happens in other countries and
regions that may have similarly diverse economies. The final conclusions emphasize factors such
as the consolidation of the training department within the companies’ organizational structures,
the size of the enterprises and their turnover, as key variables of training provision. Another
important feature is the significant differences between the types of organizational structure and
the role of training. Lastly, it considers how training and its evaluation have on impact on the
various economic and financial aspects of the companies. “An Introduction to Mixed Methods
Research” by Kim Galt, Pharm. D Creighton University (2007) which defines mixed methods
research and identifies the major mixed methods research designs and their distinguishing
characteristics and also describe different methodological challenges of using multiple methods
and consider options for addressing these challenges. A study on “Training as an effective tool to
create 'satisfied customers' base' in Indian automobile industry” by Goel, O. P. (2007) reveals that
‘training and development' efforts of organizations have positive impact on their performances.
Job knowledge and hard skills required to perform a task in the automobile industry have drawn
sufficient attention of the researchers, attitudinal and soft skills aspects seem to have less interest
of the researchers. Globalization and liberalization in the Indian passenger car industry setting
provide a fertile ground to investigate companies that are attempting to think 'customer delight'. It
is widely seen that creating a competitive edge based on product features and technological
strengths is becoming more and more difficult and unstable. This study deals with the gaps in
customers expectations, their experiences while purchasing and servicing a car, the skills gaps -
both at sales person as well as service technician level and also the enhance training needs due to
intensified competition and technological developments in the industry.
