In the field of training transfer, Baldwin and Ford are the clear experts. They've been pursuing this topic since 1988 and have influenced many others to follow. They were the first to introduce a training transfer model (1988) and have also conducted reviews of literature about the topic. Baldwin and Ford's model served as the catalyst for many other to research the topic. The transfer training model evolved through Holton's model in 1996 to Broad's model in 2005. I'm basing my conceptual framework off Burke and Hutchin's (2008) comprehensive model.
I must say, I was a bit intimidated by the whole dissertation process, but after reading the works of these experts, I feel much better - more supported...a bit overwhelmed, but at least I have the experts on my side...
