Summary:Numerous research studies on transfer of training within an organisation have been conducted, but seldom found in international settings. In an effort to examine the effect of training design on the transfer of human resource development (HRD) training for a global company, a training project for a Korean organisation was studied. The focus of the study was to examine the learning, transfer, and reasons for impeding or facilitating the training transfer made by the HRD professionals of a Korean organisation. Data analysis results revealed the degree of learning and training transfer and several reasons for high or low transfer of training. Discussions and conclusions were made to help programme designers in global contexts develop effective training programmes for cross-cultural application.
