Business plays
a mammoth role in workforce development, but many environments are
inhospitable to learning, and business goals may fail to serve the
learner. The competitive global economy has caused employers to take a
greater interest in human resource development because it is through
people, not technology, that competitive edge is gained. |
"Workforce development" is more closely
linked to job performance than to larger educational goals. Some business
environments are "inhospitable to learning" and business
goals "fail to serve the learner", although
"competitive edge" is gained with the human capital and
not with technological advances (Bierema, 2000, p.
278). |
