46. List and explain the number of different ways that learning occurs in a company.
There are a number of different ways that learning occurs in a company.
Formal training and development refers to training and development programs, courses, and
events that are developed and organized by the company. Typically, employees are required
to attend or complete these programs, which can include face-to-face training programs (such
as instructor-led courses) as well as online programs.
Informal learning is also important for facilitating the development of human capital. Informal
learning refers to learning that is learner initiated, involves action and doing, is motivated by an
intent to develop, and does not occur in a formal learning setting. Informal learning occurs
without a trainer or instructor, and its breadth, depth, and timing is controlled by the employee.
It occurs on an as-needed basis and may involve an employee learning either alone or
through face-to-face or technology-aided social interactions.
Knowledge management refers to the process of enhancing company performance by
designing and implementing tools, processes, systems, structures, and cultures to improve the
creation, sharing, and use of knowledge. Knowledge management contributes to informal
learning.

47. List and describe the four major forces influencing the workplace and learning.
The major forces influencing the workplace and learning are:
• Economic cycles
Low economic growth results in companies downsizing their work force, delaying plans for
new operations and growth, and revisiting training and development and human resource
budgets to cut unnecessary programs and costs. However, such economic times also provide
an opportunity for companies to take a closer look at training and development to identify
those activities that are critical for supporting the business strategy as well as those mandated
by law (such as safety training or sexual harassment training).
• Globalization of business
Growth of international operations, increase in foreign competition and establishment of
developing countries indicate that companies must find, train, and retain talented foreign
workers to work in others countries as well as in the U. S. On the contrary, U. S. workers must
also be trained for overseas assignments.
• Demographic changes
It includes aging workforce, more cultural diversity in the workforce, more women in the
workforce, and more people of color. Management of diversity contributes to a company's
bottom line by its influence on creativity, problem solving, employee retention, and creation of
new markets for a company's products and services. Companies that do not manage diversity
will find that employees' talents are underutilized and their personal and professional needs
are not being met. As a result, they will become dissatisfied and leave, resulting in a poorly
performing, less competitive organization. Companies that are known for managing diversity
also have an edge in attracting talented employees.
• New technologies
It includes computers, e-learning, e-commerce, interactive cd's, web-based learning, and so
on. Employees need job-specific knowledge and basic skills to work with the equipment
created by the new technology. Because technology is often used as a means to achieve
product diversification and customization, employees must have the ability to listen and
communicate with customers. Interpersonal skills, such as negotiation and conflict
management, and problem-solving skills are more important than physical strength,
coordination, and fine-motor skills.
