Informal Learning in the Workplace - Unmasking Human Resource Development (Paperback)

Informal learning has become an extremely important issue as post-industrial workplaces seek to harness its productive potential. Managers and Human Resource Development practitioners have attempted to deploy informal learning in the design of corporate cultures. However most discussions of the subject have tended to be uncritical expositions which do not challenge the underlying economic, philosophical and organisational rationale. Unmasking Workplace Learning critically examines definitions of informal learning, focusing on its application in a variety of workplace contexts. The book features:
* theories of informal learning
* the unmasking of contemporary corporate rhetoric
* the implications for accounts of workplace learning of poststructuralist and postmodern perspectives
* case studies based on interviews with practising managers and HRM practitioners
* detailed glossary of key concepts and issues.
