    1.      Organizational analysis
    2.      Task analysis
    3.      Man analysis these are    discussed in seriatim.
    • Organizational analysis . it involves a comprehensive analysis of organization in terms of its objectives, resources, resource allocation and utilization, culture, environment and so on . Generally, organizational analysis includes the following steps: 
    1. Analysis of objectives : organizational analysis begins with achieving a clear understanding of both short and long run goals and also the order of priorities  accorded to various objectives . General objectives are also needed to be translated into specific operational targets.
    2. Resource Utilization Analysis: Once the organizational objectives are analysed, the next step involved in identifying training   need is to analyse the allocation of human and other physical resources and evaluate their level of utilization in meeting operational objectives. 
    3. Environmental scanning: Such an analysis is done to study the organisation as a sub-system operating in a distinct environment .
    4. Organisational Climate Analysis: The organisational climate is a reflection of its member’s attitudes towards various aspects of work, supervision, company procedure and so on. 
    • Task Analysis: this is also called job or operational analysis. This involves a detailed analysis of various components of job, its various operation, and condition under which it has to be performed. Task analysis will indicate the skills and training required to perform the job at the required standard. 
    • Man Analysis: This is the third component in identifying employee training need. The focus of man analysis as on the individual employee, his skills, abilities, knowledge and attitude. Of the three  analysis , this is more complex one because of difficulties in assessing human (employee) are much less objective and suffer from many individual variation.
