Informal Learning in the Workplace: Unmasking Human Resource DevelopmentRoutledge, 6. 12. 2012 - 224 strán (strany) Informal learning has become an extremely important issue as post-industrial workplaces seek to harness its productive potential.

It features: * theories of informal learning Incorporating case studies based on interviews with practising managers and HRM practitioners, and a detailed glossary of key concepts and issues, this book will be a valuable reference for students of workplace learning. |
