Human Resource Development International
Instructions for Authors
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance, wherever they might be located. In adopting this perspective, Human Resource Development International is committed itself to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the 'practitioner' and the 'academic'; between traditional and experimental methodological approaches; and between organizational demands and the demands of scholarship.
