Work-Based Learning : The New Frontier of Management Development

For courses related to organizational leadership and human resource development in Schools of Management or Business and Schools of Education. Also for executive education programs in corporations and professional institutions―such as management and other professional (e.g., engineering, social work) associations―that offer in-house programs in management development.

This latest addition to the well-respected “PH OD Series” recognizes that the workplace offers as many opportunities for learning as the classroom, and presents work-based learning as a merging of theory and practice, knowledge and experience. The author defines this process and gives students and practitioners several types of learning tools for its successful implementation, while covering such topics as action projects, facilitation, and evaluation. In a comprehensive approach, the book integrates a vast array of action and reflection strategies, presents an inclusive model of work-based learning, and has wide appeal across disciplines and occupations. Part of the Organization Development Series of titles.
