Moving towards the Future — Training Practices in Africa:

Abstract

There is a growing interest among writers, academics and professionals in Europe and America about the integration of training with organisational development (OD). As will be seen later, the basis for this is the need to develop training as an integral part of organisational life, so that its contribution to organisational performance can be enhanced. Training is being seen more as an OD tool than the traditional role of providing courses for improvement in individuals' job performance.
