In Brazilian corporate culture, explanatory training is highly valued as it reflects a preference for understanding context and rationale before implementation. In the USA, this contrasts with the American preference for quick, practical, hands-on training. In Portugal, 'formação' is the preferred term and often emphasizes professional development and lifelong learning principles.
