Abstract: The success of transferred technology may be measured by working effectiveness and proficiency that are achieved in the end. Training plays a key role in the effective integration of transferred technology in the workplace and enhancing productivity. Some form of periodic training or retraining is generally available in most organisations to ensure that employees continue to perform at the anticipated and desired levels. The presence or implementation of training alone, however, cannot guarantee increased profitability. It is necessary that good objectives and teaching methods be applied along with a sound training implementation plan. Periodic assessment of training results and corresponding modifications of training must also be put into action simultaneously. This paper emphasises those aspects of training, which, when absent, affect the organisation as a whole. It analyses the process of training and in doing so sheds light on what an organisation is deficient in when its human resource lacks training and/or employs improper training techniques.
