This guide will prove an indispensible tool for conceptualizing, developing and monitoring training methods in today's automated office. It provides a detailed discussion of the evolution of automated office systems and examines the various training techniques in use today. Special attention is given to managing human resources in the training process and to problems involved in teaching people to use highly technical and complex equipment effectively. Such topics as utilizing equipment fully, the use of outside specialists and consultants, conducting training needs analysis, cost-benefit analysis, keeping up with new technology, and tackling user resistance are covered. A highly detailed table of contents, glossary and general subject index facilitate quick, easy reference.
