Abstract: This paper examines the changes that have taken place, in 18 European countries, in the area of organisational training and development during the decade of the 1990s. We examine whether a trend towards more similarities (convergence) in training aspects exists in Europe and we hypothesise that the changes are in a direction that brings more peripheral countries closer to a cluster of countries, reducing overall differences between clusters over the last decade. We have used the Cranet data of 1995 and 1999, collected through surveys by the Cranfield network on European Human Resource Management, comparing 18 countries and 27 common indicators.
