                    [Summary] => It is all about communications, probably now more than ever. The Internet and mass media have opened up a whole new world of choices for our customers and potential customers, and it is up to us to offer them the best deal, not just in terms of price, but the best deal in terms of the service we provide. So let us ask ourselves a couple of questions to see if we are doing all we can to secure the business.


Are the interpersonal relations in your company supportive? Do we treat those who work for us in the same way as we would like them to treat our customers?

Meanwhile, the human resource (HR) or training department will argue that training is essential to the organization’s survival. They will fight for every last penny that the company can spare just to train staff in necessary skills.

So who’s right? Perhaps, it is not advisable to merely side with one party. Or, more precisely, there may be a better way or a win-win solution. How?

These myths are probably some of the main reasons why some organizations still fear implementing e-learning.

Let us categorize these facts and fictions and examine the nature of each:

Fiction 1: E-learning, being a technological advancement, is expensive.

[Summary] => Culture plays quite an important role in nurturing a nation; it is equally important in determining how people of a particular country decide on microeconomic – but major issues. For example, in Western countries, the decision to, say, implement e-learning, is mostly dependent on the product. In the East, particularly here in the Philippines, decision-makers first study very closely the success of other companies/schools before "jumping on the bandwagon." Of course, there are other main reasons why companies and schools implement e-learning.

[Summary] => "Dreams without implementation are fairly easy to come by, especially in the software industry," according to Microsoft’s Will Poole. So many of us dream of the perfect IT set-up in our organizations, and thus, are certain this dream will be realized. However, it is not as easy as it will not run without proper fuel.

In e-learning, the product equates to the dream car – and proper implementation process fuels it to succeed. In short, the success of e-learning is 10 percent attributed to the tangible aspects, and 90 percent to the process and support.

Yet some people do not attest to this. There have been student group demonstrations demanding explanations on why they could not find jobs after graduation. So, does education really translate into work?
