de Haan, Dieuwke ; Waterson, Patrick ; Trapp, Sonja and Pfahl, Dietmar LU (2005) IFIP TC3/WG3.3 fifth working conference on eTRAIN practices for professional organizations, eTrain 2003 167. p.113-120

In addition, there were also a number of overall lessons that could be learnt from the case study. These mainly relate to the need to integrate needs assessment within the broader context of Human Resource Management (HRM) systems, as well as the... (More)

We end the paper with a discussion of possible extensions to our work as well as outstanding challenges within the area. (Less)
