From the Paper:

"Human resource development in IBM has its good and bad points, and it is just a matter of learning where to focus, what to work on and which to develop. Human resource development, for example, aced in the field of employee retention and career development - "At IBM, point of entry is restricted to early career positions. An employee entering any given management group has an 80 percent chance of staying with IBM through retirement." HRD promotional strategy as well as HRD projects can be considered as both effective and ineffective, owing largely to the fact that IBM, like many multinational companies, is yet to unveil a perfect and foolproof plan for program and processes for the human resource development."
