This book has several distinctive features. One distinctive feature of the book is that each chapter begins with a real-life vignette of a company practice that relates to the material covered in the chapter. Many examples of company practices are provided throughout the chapters. Each chapter ends with a real-life case and related questions that give students the opportunity to apply the chapter’s content to an actual training or development issue. A second distinctive feature of the book is its topical coverage. The chapters included in Part Two, “Designing Training,” relate to training design (needs assessment, training methods, learning and transfer of training, and program design and evaluation). Instructional design is still the “meat and potatoes” of training. Part Three, “Training and Development Methods,” covers the more exciting part of training and development—that is, training and development methods.
