Organisation, Structure and SME Training Provision
指出英国中小企业培训供给的多样性常被统计平均掩盖，提出将培训类型与组织结构关联的分析框架，利用调查和访谈数据说明组织结构如何影响培训能力，对政策制定者和企业管理者有参考价值。
DR. DAVID Goss AND DR. ROBERT Jones are both senior lecturers in organisational behaviour at Portsmouth University Business School, England. This paper looks at the issue of training provision within small-and medium-sized firms and suggests that while the United Kingdom evidence appears to indicate relatively poor performance in this respect, it is necessary to recognise the diversity of training provided by SMEs. Such diversity can often be concealed by simple statistical aggregation which may encourage the adoption of training policy initiatives framed in universal terms. Such initiatives are likely to be less than optimally successful as they fail to recognise the variable constraints faced by different types of small firm. To overcome this the authors propose an analysis which links the type of training provision to organisational structure and use survey and interview data to show how organisation structure can affect the potential capacity to provide training. It is concluded that if training provision is to be improved across the spectrum of SMEs, training policy must address these differential capacities.
