Training makes a very important contribution to the
development of Human Resources. To achieve its purpose,
training needs to be effectively managed so that the right
training is received at right time and in right form.

Development is concerned with the growth of employees,

personnel learn new concepts evolved from time to time
to manage thei r work effectively and efficiently.

Page 29

is being increasingly used in Training.

A case study is a narrative account of a series of events or
situations around a specific problem or problems. It is a written
description of an actual situation near to reality. The focus of the
case study is on experience. Therefore as the act ual situation,
decisions should be made. It is problem solving by suggesting
various ways after critically analyzing the particular situation in
different ways. Ideally, the case study method, when used well,
gets the participants in the habit of making r ational decisions
which is primary requirement for a managerial position.

Students can choose few from WTO list and few live cases
which can be helpful in Developing State Tourism. Few e.g.
Mentioned below.
