ABSTRACT
The case studies, reported in Chapters 4 to 10, were followed by a survey of a 165 companies in the seven participating countries. The purpose of the survey was to investigate whether findings from the case studies could be considered representative for a larger number of learning-oriented organisations throughout Europe. Since the survey results tended to corroborate the case study outcomes, in this chapter, the main conclusions from both are discussed jointly. The chapter provides a general account of the results, focusing on ‘content’ outcomes, rather than on numerical results. Readers interested in the specifics of the case and survey results, are referred to the original project reports (Tjepkema, et al., 1999; Tjepkema et al., 2000).
