This chapter concludes that IBM is a pioneer and leader in implementing e-learning. E-learning has already made a difference in how their employees learn and work, as evidenced by their significant level of adoption. E-learning already represents 48 percent of learning at IBM. The experiences at IBM and other corporations viewed in the context of the nature of their business, their objectives, their operating environments, and their corporate cultures, offer a rich guide on corporate e-learning. As bandwidth increases and technology advances, the role of e-learning will continue to increase in corporate training. IBM has already gained a considerable amount of practical experience from their corporate e-learning programs in the past five years. They will undoubtedly continue to be innovative and make advances in e-learning in the future.Less

The chapter shows that delivery of public services is an important part of the activities of the third sector, but in the past it has been difficult to gain a granular picture of which organisations, and where, are engaged in it. Building on previous usage of data generated by NCVO, as well as large-scale surveys of third sector organisations undertaken in England in 2008 and 2010 which provide considerable facility for disaggregation, the chapter extends the use of them to consider the numbers and characteristics of organisations which say that they are involved in the delivery of public services. Thus it is possible to explore funding sources, location, scale of operation, and income. It also considers organisations’ perceptions of their relationship with various public sector bodies and also about sections of the operating environment.Less
