The theories applied in the thesis are collected from both literature and online sources. The theory of human resource management can be perceived as the strategic control and guild of the thesis. Apart from providing a general overview, it also directs the design of the research and questions. In addition, the theory of managing HR in China gives a profound perspective of Chinese specialties. The employee training and development theory, on the other hand, directly affects the outcome by providing options and solutions to address the research question.

The research methods used regarding the thesis are questionnaire, interview and observation. Each approach is adopted according to the different demand. However, the main theme of these methods is employee training. The content of the researches are designed completely by the author. And the results are analyzed and used in the recommendation. Besides the research, documents and literature from the case company are also used to gather the organizational information.

Despite the active attitude towards training, the research indicates the training, communication and resistance problems in the current system. Thus, a new virtual platform is designed to address the problem. The new system grants more flexibility and options to the trainees which would bring mutual benefits to both parties. And to carry out the new system, an implementation plan with procedure description is proposed.
