dc.description.abstract | This paper took a Human Resource Development perspective to propose a framework for building
inter-organizational networks. Recent work in Human Resource Development has proposed this
perspective for adoption by organizations to enhance workforce development. The pa per has
based its argument on the learning paradigm of HRD to develop a multidisciplinary based and
integrated framework for theory building and empirical work.
The paper explored several dimensions of learning to highlight the relevant performance areas
through which the networks can be established as facilitated by issues connected with knowledge
management. The multidisciplinary model proposed has underscored the role of the defining
characteristics of HRD that require the input of concepts from the Resource Based Theory, The
Institutional Theory, The Resource Dependence Theory, Organization Theory and Strategic
Management Literatures. Seven propositions are made from this framework based on the
multidisciplinary literature. | en |
