In this extensive revision of his best-selling text, Irwin Goldstein, a leader in the training field, teams up with Kevin Ford, well-known for his work in "the learning organization," to provide readers with a framework for examining and establishing viable training programs in education, business, and government. Capturing the excitement of training research and systems issues, the author discusses training as it occurs in real organizations. Part I focuses on societal training issues, how organizations conduct assessments to understand their training needs, and significant issues in learning and instruction. Part II focuses on the evaluation process, and Part III reviews training programs and procedures.

This book presents a good framework for training in organizations from the needs assessment phase through evaluation and revision. There is a lot of information that is very helpful for practitioners but which may not be as relevant for students. Still, the book is useful overall.

Pretty upset that it specifically states in the title of this posting that the book comes with infotrac but when I got the book the infotrac had been torn out. Luckily I have 16 other classmates with the book and infotrac log-ins but it would be nice to have my own....I'm only 3 chapters in and I'm not enjoying the way this book is written. Very informative but I find myself translating sentences to more simplified terms while reading.

A good textbook - but it is in DESPERATE need of an update. With how fast technology changes, a new solid chapter on LMS systems would really help it out.

It's worth it to buy the book than rent it, but I didn't really need it for class like i thought.

Great book! Clear, concise, and full of useful information!

soooooo boring. have to use it for college

I ordered this book last minute due to system error on the campus end and my book purchase was all last minute. The book came before the date that was noted, which for me was a great thing. I have to say service was excellent and packing was perfect.

Good
