The purpose of this chapter is to describe a successful case study of evaluation and learning transfer in a Global CRO (ICON) located in Dublin, Ireland. The case study focuses on a management development program entitled Management Essentials Two. The evaluation element of the exercise engaged the theories of Kirkpatrick and Phillips as a fundamental approach. The outcomes of the program that were measured included Levels one, two and three of both models. Post program behavior change was selected as a measure of transfer. In a departure from standard evaluation practice the case study employed an original inventory, “System of Training Transfer Assessment Report” (STAR), to measure the factors leading to transfer (Donovan & Darcy, 2011). Regression analysis was used to identify four factors that were critical to transfer of learning at ICON. Lessons for ICON, practitioners, and researchers are drawn.

This article examines how social marketers and researchers can concentrate social marketing efforts around a crucial mechanism in behavior change, the notion of commitment. Citizens are committed to different forms of behavior and the success of social marketing depends upon the ability to change this commitment. This is illustrated in a case study about environmentally sustainable behaviors that is analyzed using a research tool, the Conversion Model™, based on the concept of commitment.
