A Model for Adult Training in Flexible Organizations: Towards an Experience Concentration Theory
Abstract
Discusses flexibility at both organizational and individual levels with respect to human resource management and training for an ageing workforce. Derives a theory of experience concentration (from literature survey and empirical research) which is seen as the key factor in adult learning. Lists six basic principles as guidelines for developing adult training courses. Presents a model as a framework for further research which illustrates that the relation between the ageing of personnel and flexibility is not as simple as is often thought.
