Shlomo Ben-Hur examines the nature of corporate learning, suggesting what it might be and how it can be successfully integrated into a company's strategic management system to deliver real business results.

Corporate learning functions are now an established part of many of the world''s leading multinational firms. In this book, Shlomo Ben-Hur demonstrates how corporate learning can and should have an integral, strategic, role in a company. Based on firsthand experience, Ben-Hur provides a practical guide to setting up or restructuring a corporate learning function within a company, covering its seven key activities.
