Abstract

Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to detect the combination of factors associated with the provision of job-related training provided by employers located throughout the United Kingdom. The efficacy of broad brush policy initiatives to encourage the provision of training in all very small firms is questioned. A case for targeting training provision assistance is presented. © 1998, MCB UP Limited
