Abstract

Managers now view e-learning as an important instrument for obtaining skill-based organisational outcomes. Not all organisations are likely to implement this training strategy, however, because there are significant trade-offs involved in terms of both costs and benefits. This article examines the organisational determinants of e-learning: larger establishments, organisations which employ educated workforce and well established internal labour markets are more likely to adopt an e-learning strategy. The influence of many such factors requires that a value-based analysis is undertaken to help organisations make optimal decisions about the choice of e-learning.
