The role of context in the practice and use of internal evaluation activities: A case study from business and industry

Although analyses and subsequent prescriptions about evaluation use either address-only-one-perspective or segregate--and-categorize several, in practice, facilitating use involves consideration of several perspectives simultaneously. This research provided a comprehensive understanding of the practice and use of internal evaluation activities in a particular context: the management of employee training in a business setting. The organization which served as a field site is a producer of multi-media training courses for on-site use by large organizations. Using an evolving case study methodology, the data collection procedures incorporated observations, interviews, and document reviews in the natural, on-going environment of this company.
