摘要
This article explores the ecology of virtual human resource development (VHRD). It argues VHRD can be conceptualized as a subset of Virtual HR, and thus, requires strategic integration, adaptation, and attention to the interrelations within the system to promote a healthy ecology. VHRD is a powerful combination of people and technology, presenting not only opportunities for learning and innovation but also the need for critique. VHRD is driving a paradigm shift in the field of HRD, necessitating new skills, policies, and new theories that explain phenomena in virtual environments.
