A Review of "Employee Training and Development

I found this book to be very informative and the wide variety of topics covered involving training and development give a little something for everyone. The information in the book it present in digestible about and definitions are given for all information that may be unclear. For the beginner the is book is good but I would recommend it for use in a classroom setting where the lectures or some other form of discussion can supplement the material covered.

Drink a lot of coffee while you read..

This may be one of the driest textbooks I have read so far in my Master's Program.

Good Intro, but mostly outdated now...

This is a good general introduction guide to the field of Training & Development (T&D). The basic terminology is covered in the book and the examples used to illustrate the points he makes are good.

However, a lot of the information is now somewhat outdated due to advances in technology, the Internet and the use of these things in the T&D field now. Since this book was published in 2000, it sorely underestimates the use of technology in T&D.

Text Book

The seller was very fast and the book has been good in class so far. It's a little boring, but what text book isn't?

OK But...

Not that much new material was added to this edition of a classic text. This was a good candidate, in fact, for the now-burgeoning movement to have students buy earlier editions of very expensive textbooks.

Even with Amazon's pricing, this softcover, 500+ page work goes out the door for over seventy clams. My students found serviceable copies of the third edition for a lot, lot less, and I thought that was a good thing.

Hey, if the new edition added that much incremental value, I would have insisted that this edition be procured. But so little is substantively new here that I had a hard time insisting on it...

Raymond Noe?s Employee Training and Development sets the standard in this course area. First introduced in 1998, ETD became the market-defining text within 6 months of publication. Its popularity is due to the lively writing style and inspiring examples of the most up-to-date developments in training, research and in practice, including the strategic role of training and the use of new technologies in training. Employee Training and Development strikes a balance between research and real company practices. It provides students with a solid background in the fundamentals of training and development including needs assessment, transfer of training, designing a learning environment, methods, and evaluation.
