The necessity of today concerning the need to optimize the learning process has led to the development
of e-learning. Organizations gradually incorporate e-learning into their educational
activities. However, blended learning, which combines online components with the conventional
face-to-face components, has emerged as an alternative way of teaching and learning. The
paper presents selected research results that compare the perceived attributes of e-learning and
conventional business training in an organization operating in the Slovak market. The purpose
of the analysis was to determine, which style of learning is preferred, subjectively more beneficial
and better evaluated by employees of the company for the purpose of supporting decision-making
in company’s business education strategy development. Two thrifty summated scales, both
of four original items rating the properties of two types of business training were compiled
with acceptable reliability assessed by internal consistency coefficient and validity established
by factor analysis. The results showed comparable perceived quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
and knowledge applicability of two types of business training in the company, balanced preferences
and thus vindication of both styles of training in business education program. Regarding
practical implications, this study proposes the concept of thrifty multidimensional learners’
evaluation, which can be used in organizations providing different styles of business training for
quantitative evaluating and monitoring the perceived trainings’ quality attributes, their benefit,
effectiveness and efficiency for quick inspection of relevant differences between the two styles
of training in company. Realizing the existence of deficiencies in the training can support corrective
actions starting toward training’s quality and effectiveness and efficiency optimization.
