he first edition was the winner of the Book of the Year Award from the prestigious Academy of Human Resource Development
• Completely revised and updated throughout, with four new chapters and online support materials for instructors and readers

This second edition has been completely revised, updated, and expanded, with new chapters on component HRD theories, policy and planning, technology, and globalization, as well as supplemental study questions, PowerPoint presentations, and figures available online at www.textbookresources.net.
The book is divided into seven parts. Part 1 provides a basic understanding of HRD models, processes, and history. Part 2 outlines the critical theoretical and philosophical foundations of HRD. Part 3 explores learning and performance paradigms and associated models within each. The next two parts capture the substance of training and development and organization development, including examples of best practices along with variations in core thinking, processes, interventions, and tools. Part 6 focuses on HRD’s role in high-level organizational and systems-level issues of strategy, accountability, and policy and planning. Finally, part 7 addresses contemporary issues such as globalization, technology, and emerging challenges to the field.
