Human Resource Management: Challenges in Asia (Wiley Executive MBA) - Tapa blanda

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

This book is one of the best I have ever read for HR practitioners. The analyses and the experiences documented in it are invaluable. I would recommend that all managers - including HR and non-HR ones - keep a copy of this book as their desk reference, so as to help keep themselves abreast of the rich historical as well as current HR developments that have transpired in Asia. - Associate Professor, Lim Ghee Soon, NUS Business School

It is extremely important for multinationals doing business in Asia to modify and localize their best practices including HR programs, instead of merely importing or adopting specific programs. However, far too many HR programs fail to create impact because they fail to realize the transition countries in Asia need to make before adopting specific HR tools or initiatives. This book is highly relevant in that it presents numerous HR case studies, interviews and research pieces presented in an easy-to-read manner. A must read for CEOs managing Asia, for Asia-based HR professionals or for global HR heads looking at best ways to solve people-related challenges across Asia. - Charles D.
