在培訓市場火爆的背后,是“培訓絕對是一種投資,可以帶來巨大回報”的理念,而這種觀念也已經被絕大多數的企業和職業人士所認同。據說,IBM在中國一年的培訓投入就是1000萬美元。對此曾有人提出減少培訓支出的意見,但當時IBM表示:“如果我每年不花這些錢去培訓,可能一年只能有4億美元的收人;而現在,我們在中國一年的收人是8億美元。”
More and more people came to believe that training is really a kind of investment which can bring about considerable returns. That is why training has become so popular. It is said that IBM invested 10 million dollars for the training of its employees in China in a single year. When challenged about the necessity of such a large sum of investment in training, IBM refuted, We can only get a return of 400 million dollars in a single year without such a large investment. Comparatively, we can now raise that number to 800 million dollars.
