Establishing an HRD Program in an HRD Consulting Firm.

Rothwell, William J.

Training and Development Journal, v37 n1 p81-85 Jan 1983

Establishing a human resource development (HRD) program for HRD practitioners frequently results in problems of organizational change. The author has applied the theories of three contemporary sociologists--Talcott Parsons, Lewis Coser, and Peter Blau--to a hypothetical case study of an HRD consulting firm faced with developing its own human resources.
