Bibliography:Learning and Development for Managers enables students and managers of learning and development (L&D) to understand the theory and practice of L&D in organizations. The book explores the concept of learning from a variety of perspective through the use of examples of research and practice from all over the world. It takes a broad view of learning as encompassing explicit as well as individual and collective learning processes. The central arguement of the book is that the practice of L&D should be based upon a rigorous theoritical and emperical base. To this end, each chapter uses synopses of research studies and case studies from businesses to illustrate the most important theories, concepts and models.
