It is anyhow true that, if chosen with care, employees should have, at least potentially, the character abilities needed to carry out their tasks. Nonetheless very often the importance of theory and of teaching theories and methods to accomplish tasks at best are underrated. Companies often perceive the word ?theory? as mere knowledge, on the contrary of the practical knowledge acquired every day on the job, and so it is considered just a loss of time.

For some time the bigger companies have realized instead the great importance of permanent training courses for their employees.

It is absolutely true that learning by doing is very useful, but if somebody would tell us what to do and how to do it we could learn even faster. There are a lot of experiments confirming this theory.

In a fast evolving economic situation, the entrepreneur's flair is no more enough to drive a hard bargain.

To be competitive, companies, have to be able to improve their organizational efficiency, be able to deal with new opportunities, to develop strategies that allow to grow in a more and more difficult economic conjuncture. And all these not always are innate knowledge, but at the contrary are skills acquired in specific training courses. Managerial training also is not an option anymore, but a real duty if companies want to successfully deal with all new challenges.

Now there are a lot of institutions and schools that organize training course, also online, both for employees and managers.

There are also a lot of training master's degree to give managers all necessary and innovative knowledge and theories to help them better understanding modern economy and various means to get the greatest benefits from the actual economic system.

This need is also highlighted from the fact that modern economy is in a moment of fast transition, we can't apply old schemes to new models, there is the big risk to not understand which game are we playing and so allow other businessmen faster than us to steal our businesses.

Now training courses regard any subject, they talk about communication, strategic problem solving, persuasive communication techniques, decisional procedure improvement, relational skills enhancement.

It is very important to choose the right course, in which teachers have to be really well-prepared and able to involve participants.

Of course training has its cost and this is one of the main reasons why entrepreneurs don't easily invest in training. Besides it is fundamental to choose the right people to invest in, not very motivated employees or employees who don't want to remain at the company are not the ideal people to invest in. But also hiring determined and fit for the task people is a precious ability and a strong responsibility. Given that every company needs qualified human resources, and to this purpose is essential that these people are well trained on every step, companies need to invest more in human capital because employees abilities are essentials to the company efficient functioning.
