The authors also studied the correspondence of the employees capabilities with variables like the experience, adequate knowledge of a second language, age and years of service; their interest in participating in IS training seminars is also recorded. The authors were based in data gathered with a structured questionnaire and the data analysis was conducted with multivariate analysis, correspondence analysis and hierarchical classification.
