This text for professionals and business students examines distance training programs in 17 for-profit, non-profit, and government organizations, including MCI, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, the Red Cross, and the Internal Revenue Service. Case studies show how these organizations have sustained distance training beyond individual training events and integrated it into their strategic business plans. Contributions from Berge (instructional systems development, U. of Maryland) and other training specialists discuss distance training in the context of dealing with uncommon organizational change, setting competitive standards, and achieving organizational goals.
