TRAINING

Training is concerned with imparting developing specific skills for a particular purpose. Training is the act of increasing the skills of an employees for doing a particular job. Training is the process of learning a sequence of programmed behaviour. In earlier practice, training programme focused more on preparation for improved performance in particular job. Most of the trainees used to be from operative levels like mechanics, machines operators and other kinds of skilled workers. When the problems of supervision increased, the step were taken to train supervisors for better supervision.
DEVELOPMENT

Management development is all those activities and programme when recognized and controlled have substantial influence in changing the capacity of the individual to perform his assignment better and in going so all likely to increase his potential for future assignments. Thus, management development is a combination of various training programme, though some kind of training is necessary, it is the overall development of the competency of managerial personal in the light of the present requirement as well as the future requirement. Development an activity

designed to improve the performance of existing managers and to provide for a planned growth of managers to meet future organizational requirements is management development.
Management development is based on following on assumptions.

1. Management development is a continuous process. It is not one shot programme but continues though out the career of a manager. 2. Management development is any kind of learning, is based on the assumption that there, always existing a gape between an individuals performance and his potential for the performance. 3. Management development seldom takes place in completely peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. 4. Management development requires clear setting of goals. 5. Management development required conducive environment.

Training Need Identification for a company

Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational courses or activities should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Here the focus should be placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a constructive outcome. In order to emphasize the importance of training need identification we can focus on the following areas: To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line. To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her job performance. To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring about a match between individual aspirations and organizational goals. Identification of training needs (ITN), if done properly, provides the basis on which all other training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is a process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is important to them, and the reputation of the organization is also at stake. Identification of training needs is important from both the organisational point of view as well as from an individual's point of view. From an organisation's point of view it is important because an organisation has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all stakeholders or members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbours.

These objectives can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities of its people, releasing potential and maximising opportunities for development. Therefore people must know what they need to learn in order to achieve organisational goals. Similarly if seen from an individual's point of view, people have aspirations, they want to develop and in order to learn and use new abilities, people need appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions. Therefore, to meet people's aspirations, the organization must provide effective and attractive learning resources and conditions. And it is also important to see that there is suitable match between achieving organizational goals and providing attractive learning opportunities.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

MEANING OF RESEARCH:Research as the manipulation of things, concepts of symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an art. The Research Methodology followed for further work can be primarily classified into two stages namely Exploratory and Descriptive. The stepwise details of the research are as follows: Stage - I Exploratory Study: Since we always lack a clear idea of the problems one will meet during the study, carrying out an exploratory study is particularly useful. It helped develop my concepts more clearly, establish priorities and in improve the final research design. Exploratory study will be carried out by conducting: Secondary data going through analysis which included studying the company and also the various articles published in different sources

(magazines, books, internet, newspapers) on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises and Training and development process. Stage II Descriptive Study: After carrying out initial Exploratory studies to bring clarity on the subject under study, Descriptive study will be carried out to know the actual Training and Development method. The knowledge of actual training and development process is needed to document the process and suggest improvements in the current system to make it more effective. The tools used to carry out Descriptive study included both monitoring and Interrogation.

Sample Selection : To know the Training and development process for identifying through Exploratory and Observational studies that the Assistant Manager Human Resources, the General Manager at Head office and The Esteemed Managing Director of the company are the right persons who provides training to the employees. Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from training and developing its workers, including: Increased productivity. Reduced employee turnover. Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains. Decreased need for supervision.
