Abstract

Using experiences from an assessment of en outdoor management training program, this paper examines issues in training evaluation that are not often addressed. We present a five-step model suggesting key questions that must be answered before the appropriate evaluation approach can be determined. We conclude by warning that the clarion call for results-oriented training evaluation may he misguided, given the multiple and subtle purposes that training serves in the life of organizations.
