TOPICAL COVERAGE Raymond Noe begins with a discussion of the context for training and development. Part One includes chapters that cover the economic and workplace factors that are influencing trends in the training profession. 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 developmentthat is, training and development methods. But as the role of managers and trainers broadens, they are increasingly involved in helping all employees grow, develop, and cope with career challenges, as well as preparing high-potential employees for leadership positions.

INSPIRING EXAMPLES & REAL-LIFE VIGNETTES Author Raymond Noe boasts over 25 years of teaching experience which has taught him that students become frustrated if they do not see research and theory in practice. As a result, one distinctive feature of this title 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 chapters content to an actual training or development issue.
