About this title

Synopsis

Global Impact: Award Winning Performance Programs from Around the World focuses on the excellent work of organizations in many areas of the world, not just the United States (where most of us are accustomed to look for 'best practices' we can use for our own training efforts). Look further, urge authors Odenwald and Matheny, for unique and results-oriented programs being implemented around the world, particularly in regions like Southeast Asia where effective training is considered a competitive edge.
Global Impact highlights some of the most advanced and practical techniques for developing individual "open learning" modules; setting up a corporate university that truly informs employees about the mission of the entire organization; training in environmental protection; introducing a collaborative approach to union/management relations (called "mutual gains" training); and implementing many other successful programs designed to meet the training challenges presented by advances in technology, globalization, and the blurring of national boundaries.
This collection of award winning practices deals not only with examples from advanced economies but also with the "against-all-odds" training programs designed by companies struggling to introduce their employees to the most basic tenets of a free-market economy. From the Banker Training Programs in Central Europe, to the Supervisory Development Project underway in Malaysia, Global Impact shows how the human resource function is viewed as absolutely central to the success of countries in emerging markets.
