The main objective of practical training at MBA level is to develop skill in student by
helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices.
The MBA programme provides student with a fundamental knowledge of business and
management.
theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of
such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only the training through
which I come to know that what an industry is and how it works. Training is an integral part
of MBA and each and every student has to undergo the training for 2 months in a company
and then prepare a project report on the same after the completion of training.
During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came to know about the
management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical knowledge and the
theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have practical knowledge,
which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that-

growth. Training refers to the teaching /learning activities done for
the primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire
and apply the knowledge skills, abilities, and attitude needed by that
organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking training
is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for
doing a particular job. In today’s scenario change is the order of the
day and the only way to deal with it is to learn and grow. Employees
have become central to success or failure of an organization they are
the cornucopia of ideas. So it high time the organization realize that
“train and retain is the mantra of new millennium.”

drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those supplied by
management development programmes, are generally voluntary.”
The scope of the study covers in depth, the various training practices, modules,
formats being followed and is limited to the company Reliance Money and its
employees. The different training programmes incorporated/facilitated in
Reliance Money through its faculties, outside agencies or professional groups.
It also judges the enhancement of the knowledge & skills of employees and
feedback on its effectiveness.
The fundamental aim of training is to help the organization achieve its purpose
by adding value to its key resource – the people it employs. Training means
investing in the people to enable them to perform better and to empower them
to make the best use of their natural abilities.

TRADITIONAL AND MODERN APPROACH OF TRAINING
ANDDEVLOPMENT.
Traditional Approach – Most of the organizations before never used to
believe in training. They were holding the traditional view that managers are
born and not made. There were also some views that training is a very costly
affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive pinching.
But now the scenario seems to be changing.
14 | P a g e
Fig 2. Training Process.
15 | P a g e
The first step in the training process in an organization is the assessment of its
objectives and strategies. What business are we in? At what level of quality do
we wish to provide this product or service? Where do we want to be in the
future? It is only after answering these and other related questions that the
organization must assess the strengths and weaknesses of its human resources.
Individual:
An individual obviously needs training when his or her training falls short of
standards, that is, when there is performance deficiency. Inadequacy in
performance may be due to lack of skill or knowledge or any other problem.
The problem of performance deficiency is caused by absence of skills or
knowledge can be remedied by training. Faulty selection, poor job design,
uninspiring supervision or some personal problem may also result in poor
performance. Transfer, job redesign, improving quality of supervision, or
discharge will solve the problem.
Group:
Assessment of training needs occurs at group level too. Any change in the
organization’s strategy necessitates training groups of employees. For example,
when the organization decides to introduce a new line of products, sales
personnel and production workers have to be trained to produce, sell and
service the new products. Training can also be used when high scrap or
16 | P a g e
accident rates, low morale and motivation, or other problems are diagnosed.
Several assessment methods for are available for assessing training needs.
Some are useful for organizational level needs assessment and others for
individual needs assessment.
17 | P a g e
Benefits of Needs Assessment:
Needs assessment helps diagnose the cause of performance deficiency of
employees. Causes require remedial actions. There are specific benefits of
needs assessment.
♣ Trainers may be informed about the broader needs of the training group and
their sponsoring organizations.
♣ The sponsoring organizations are able to reduce the perception gap between
the participant and his or her boss about their needs and expectations from the
training programme.
♣ Trainers are able to pitch their course inputs closer to the specific needs of
the participants.
Majority of industrial training is on the job training type. OJT method is mainly
adopted while orienting new employees, introducing innovations in products &
services and in special skills training. OJT is conducted at the work site and in
the context of the job. Often, it is informal, as when an experienced worker
shows a trainee how to perform the job tasks.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
24 | P a g e
Every research methodology includes a research design which may be defined
as the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a manner
that aims to combine relevance to the research process with economy in
procedure.
The sampling method that I am being using is the stratified sampling method,
the reason behind using this method even though the time consumption when
taken into consideration is more is to divide the whole set of retailer shop I am
gathered from each set and by that a perfect co- relation could also done. My
data arch collection process would consist of series of procedures which would
be further divided into primary and secondary data collection. The secondary
data are those studies made by other for their own purposes. The secondary data
for my research would be collected from companies own data, archives and
their annual financial reports. Also the findings of prior research studies on
data or decision making patterns. Also I would use internet to get some more
information about the industry and use journals for getting guidance from the

than 500 employees received some training, compared with 82 per cent in
companies with more than 1,000 people (Schaaf 1998). Smaller to midsize
firms, employing 100 to 499 people, averaged 140,040 dollars per company for
training; these companies make up about 78 per cent of the Dun & Bradstreet
database of 146,837 US organisations.
Those employing between 500 and 999 people, about 10 per cent of the
database, planned to spend about 237,600 dollars each. The largest companies,
those with 10,000 or more employees (1 per cent of the database), had training
budgets that averaged well over 15 million dollars.

In order to conduct meaningful data analysis regarding the needs of the small
business/entrepreneurial firm, data were cross tabulated by how long the
business existed-organizational life cycle stages-against a number of training
and development variables affecting the success or survival of the small
business and/or its entrepreneur.

Table 1: Areas of Training
Table 1 provides the responses to the survey question regarding which areas of
training the entrepreneurs and their employees believed they need for the
success and survival of the small business, cross-tabulated by how lonyears,
from initial start-up to year 4, the respondents selected Marketing as the area of
training in highest demand (35.6%), followed closely by Finance (34.3%) and
HR (31.7%). In the early growth years, businesses in existence between 5-10
years, the areas of training the respondents selected were HR (30.3%) followed
closely by Finance (28.3%) and Marketing (28.3%). In the mature growth
stage, businesses in existence between 11-20 years, the same three areas were
selected as being the most desirous and all were equally in demand (Finance
13.9%, HR 13.8% and Marketing 13.3%). Finally, in the mature stage,
businesses in existence greater than 20 years, HR was highest in demand
(24.1%) followed closely by Marketing (22.8%) and Finance (22.5%).
The data displayed in Table 1 shows that as the businesses moved from their
initial start-up, organizational life cycle stage (0-4 years) to their mature stage
(20 years or older), the entrepreneurs and the employees perceived less need for
training. In fact, the trend shows that during the first three organizational life
cycle stages, the demand for training consistently dropped. In the final stage
(greater than 20 years in existence), however, demand for training
increased by approximately seventy-five per cent (75%).
The results shown in Table 1 seem to indicate that the perceived value of
training by entrepreneurs and their employees, regardless of topical area,
declines as the business moves from its initial start-up phase through its mature
growth stage but then dramatically increases in the mature stage. This may be
the result of various internal and external factors, some of which may be that
the business is about to reform or launch new products and services or
perceives a
threat to its share of the market and must recast itself to grow and prosper the
business has existed.
53 | P a g e
As shown in Table 2, in the early years, from initial start-up to year 4, the
methods and tools the entrepreneurs and employees selected most were: On-
the-Job Training (28.2%), Conferences (27.6%) and Training Manuals (24.8%).
In the early growth years, businesses in existence between 5-10 years, the
methods and tools the entrepreneurs and employees selected most were:
On-the-job Training (30%), Conferences (26.8%) and Training Manuals
(23.9%). In the mature growth stage, businesses in existence between 11-20
years, the methods and tools entrepreneurs and employees selected most were
similar in perceived usefulness, i.e., On-the-job Training (14.4%), Conferences
(13.8%) and Training Manuals (14.7%). Finally, in the mature stage,
businesses in existence greater than 20 years, the methods and tools
entrepreneurs and employees selected most were: Training Manuals (36.7%),
Conferences (31.7%) and On-the-job Training (27.4%).
The data as displayed in Table 2 shows that as the businesses moved from their
initial start-up, organizational life cycle stage (0-4 years) to their mature stage
(20 years or older), the entrepreneurs and the employees are less interested in
various training methods and tools. In fact, the trend shows that during the first
three organizational life cycle stages, the demand for training methods and tools
consistently dropped but in the final stage (greater than 20 years), demand for
training methods and tools increased by over one hundred per cent (100%).
The results of Table 2 seem to indicate that the perceived usefulness by
entrepreneurs and their employees of various of training methods and tools
declines as the business moves from its initial start-up phase through its mature
growth stage, but then dramatically increases in the mature stage. This again
may be due to various reasons, internal and external business factors.
Table 3 provides the responses to the survey question regarding which training
delivery options, available to train the entrepreneurs and their employees, were
believed essential for the success and survival of the small business, cross-
tabulated by how long the business had existed. As shown in Table 3, in the
early years, from initial start-up to year 4, the preferred training delivery
54 | P a g e
options available to train the entrepreneurs and employees were: One-on-one
(25.6%),
Mentoring (25.2%) and Group Training (18.9%). In the early growth years,
businesses in existence between 5-10 years, the preferred delivery options of
the entrepreneurs and employees were: One-on-one (32.8%), Mentoring
(25.2%) and Group Training (21.6%). In the mature growth stage, businesses
in existence between 11-20 years, the preferred delivery options of the
entrepreneurs and employees were: Group Training (19.8%), One-on-one
(13.6%) and Mentoring (12.9%).
Finally, in the mature stage, businesses in existence greater than 20 years, the
preferred training delivery options of the entrepreneurs and employees were:
Group Training (39.6%), Mentoring (36.7%) and One-on-one (28%).
The data as displayed in Table 3 shows that as the businesses moved from their
initial start-up organizational life cycle stage (0-4 years) to their mature stage
(20 years or older), the entrepreneurs and the employees tend to use less
training delivery options. In fact, the trend shows that during the first three
organizational life cycle stages, the use of the various training delivery options
consistently dropped, but that in the final stage (greater than 20 years) use of
the
various training delivery options and tools increased by from one hundred to
three hundred per cent.
LIMITATIONS
Every scientific study has certain limitations and the present study is
no more exception. These are:
55 | P a g e
1. The terminology used in the subject is highly technical in nature
and creates a lot of confusion.
2. All the secondary data are required were not available.
3. Respondents were found hesitant in revealing opinion about
supervisors and management.
CONCLUSION.
The literature indicates that today’s small and medium enterprises are not
getting the training they need to keep their companies competitive. The survey
results indicate that employees need training in a number of areas to better
compete in today’s market. It is clear that the entrepreneurs in the study believe
that training is particularly critical in the areas of accounting, finance, and
marketing. The entrepreneurs also believe that they need additional training in
the areas of time management, conflict management and basic business and
financial skills in order to help their organizations better compete in the
marketplace.
A major issue affecting the success and viability of small businesses to grow
and compete is the methods which are commonly used to train the
entrepreneurs and their employees. The survey results indicate that
entrepreneurs and their employees believe that the training methods most useful
are: On-the-job training, training conferences and training manuals. Finally,
training was
usually delivered on a one-to-one basis, or through mentoring and attending
conferences. Specifically, the results showed four trends. First, the outcomes
indicate that the perceived value of training by entrepreneurs and their
employees, regardless of topical area, declines as the business moves from its
initial start-up phase through its mature growth stage—but then dramatically
increases in the mature stage. This may be the result of various internal and
56 | P a g e
external factors, some of which may be that the business is about to reform or
launch new products and services or perceives a threat to its share of the market
and must recast itself to grow and prosper. Second, the research seems to
indicate that the perceived usefulness by entrepreneurs and their employees of
various of training methods and tools declines as the business moves from its
initial start-up phase through its mature growth stage, but then dramatically
increases in the mature stage. This again may be due to various reasons,
internal and external business factors.
