 4 stars for the book, 2 for Amazon September 1, 2008
tokyoichiban (Tokyo, Kanto Japan)
The book is interesting. A large part covers very basic trainings skills. My impression was it was written for a subject matter expert, with no experience in training, who wants to know how to pass his knowledge on.
So far I have designed trainings more in the soft skill area. To learn how to apply this to a technical training the book was helpful and answered many questions I had.
Disappointing was that the book was send to me without the CD.
The first time customer service did a great job and send me a replacement, unfortunately also without the CD. I wrote again, but received no answer, so finally I called Amazon and was told that I should check, if the book was actually advertised on the page with the CD - which it is. Than I should return the book and I would get a refund. Well, as I live in Japan, the cost for returning the book would probably be higher than the book itself.
Pity, the CD was one of the reasons buying the book.
The book is well written, with 50% of the content of relevance to me, so it gets 4 stars. Amazon - sorry, but this time only 2. Well, here in Japan is a phrase: even a monkey can fall of the tree.
 Highly recommended! July 30, 2002

"Building effective technical training: How to develop hard skills within organizations" by Rothwell and Benkowski is intended for any worker who must apply devices (such as PC's, software) that "govern them and their work", engineers and workers who apply special knowledge in manufacturing settings, and MIS professionals who apply knowledge in high-tech companies. The organization of the book is logical walking the reader through the contents of this resource. Their "Lessons Learned" chapter (Part V) is particularly well done. The added bonus of a CD-ROM and Appendices (specifically IV) enhance an already highly useable text making it easier for those of us who straddle both the practitioner and academic worlds.

I could not review the book because I have not seen or read it. In any case the cover and the title appear to be very good for particularly employers who may want high productivity from their employees and also for the employees who more often want more responsibility and advancements either in their present posts or to higher ones. The prints (electronic)appear reader-friendly.
