Abstract: Abstract In Ethiopia, we implemented a classroom-training program and an on-site training program for entrepreneurs operating metalworking enterprises with three or more workers. The measurement of the training impacts in Ethiopia is likely to be affected by the increasingly favorable access to the knowledge of Kaizen due to the recent government policy of disseminating Kaizen as an integral part of the country’s modernization. Yet, the purpose of this chapter is to analyze the impacts of classroom and on-site training on the management practices and the business performance by using the data collected through the two follow-up surveys as well as the baseline survey.
