Reviews

'The book provides good coverage for the CTP course. I approve of the learning objectives at the start of each chapter, and the summary at the end of each chapter is a useful tool. The use of case studies and tasks give students the opportunity to reflect on the issues covered. The book's strong point is its up-to-date coverage of the elements of the CTP course.'

'The material is comprehensive and the mix of theory and practice strikes a good balance. The chapter objectives are well defined and indicative content is sound.'

'There is very limited choice for specific HRD textbooks. Those that exist are very basic and operational in focus. I would be very keen to recommend the text to my students'.
