The expectation that training can cure all the problems of an organisation is unrealistic as there are many factors that training cannot remedy. Training cannot neutralise unwise promotions or ineffective methods of work; nor can it replace intelligent supervision, favourable environmental conditions, individual willingness to accept responsibility, etc. Effectiveness of training also depends on other organisational factors such as motivation for growth and fulfillment of aspirations, recognition of merit, etc. Training, therefore, is not a panacea for achieving organizational excellence.
