Continuous learning is regularly and purposefully acquiring ever deeper and broader knowledge and skills and applying them to new behaviors. This book focuses on "knowing about" rather than "knowing how." In other words, it is not a "how to" book. The purpose is to communicate the meaning and value of continuous learning to individuals, groups, and organizations. In addition, "Continuous Learning in Organizations": identifies a range of formal and informal learning opportunities; describes and evaluates state-of-the-art training technologies including Web based training, corporate universities, and e-learning; provides professionals with a view of psychological and organizational assessment and learning processes that have bottom-line impact; focuses on a topic of growing importance to organizational success; and takes both theory and research and puts it into practical applications. The text appeals to students and practitioners in the fields of human resource development, training, management and executive education, coaching, and organization change and development. It is also for executives who establish directions for learning and need to convince others that continuous learning is key to the on-going success of their enterprise.
