Instruments for the construction of a corporative virtual training model

Abstract

Business or cooperative virtual education has become valid and highly-valued over the last few years. Despite this, many organisations only trusted the advantages secured by technology for growth in their training plans, abandoning, neglecting or not paying sufficient attention to the generic processes and what is involved with them, which, for a long time characterised the processes for personnel training. In this article, the conditions are analysed which led to the rise of several computer-assisted training methods, as well as real experiences of companies which had the opportunity to experiment with these methods. Finally, we propose a route for the analysis of building virtual training models for companies, supported by M. Porter's theory of value chain analysis, using the extrapolation of the general conditions of this theory with the typical mechanisms of current business training.
