There is a growing awareness that managers have to plan in decades, and not just quarter-to-quarter; that some assets cannot be quantified in dollars and cents; and that sustainability and community responsibility are essential for success in business. This viewpoint, also called "corporate social responsibility", covers many more fields. Take plant safety and occupational safety and health: They are both closely tied to social responsibility and require a highly trained workforce.

Called "blended learning", it brings together the best of e-learning and face-to-face training, giving customers every possible combination of the two methods.
