在培训市场火爆的背后,是“培训绝对是一种投资,可以带来巨大回报”的理念,而这种观念也已经被绝大多数的企业和职业人士所认同。据说,IBM在中国一年的培训投入就是1000万美元。对此曾有人提出减少培训支出的意见,但当时IBM表示:“如果我每年不花这些钱去培训,可能一年只能有4亿美元的收人;而现在,我们在中国一年的收人是8亿美元。”
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.
