A valuable resource for management students and practitioners." * Giorgos Gouzoulis, Assistant Professor in HRM & Future of Work, University of Bristol, School of Management * "This new book on Learning and Development is ideal for my module on this topic. I am delighted to see that Armstrong's book includes a whole chapter on Individual learning, including self-directed and lifelong learning.
