BACKGROUND OF
STUDY
Modern Training Methods
• Companies are exploring e-Learning ie. web-based, intranet-
based & CD-based training delivery system to reduce
expenses (Juptner, 2001)
• Small businesses like family owned & operated firms have lower
commitment to training, it is viewed as individual career
development & does not add value to the firm (Matlay, 2000)
• The higher the initial set up costs for training (ie e-Learning), the
less likely small firms would invest in this, irrespective of its
appropriateness (Basset-Jones, 1991)
