Opis

This book blends theory with the experiences and practices of successful Foreign Invested Enterprises in China in the face of an unprecedented change in the management of people. Current theories from Western HRM literature are represented to illustrate the future challenges and issues involved. Chinese culture and values are considered, as well as China's economic background. Chapters cover major aspects of HRM, including recruitment and selection, training, management development, performance appraisal, compensation, management style and culture issues. Each chapter contains a conceptual explanation and the findings of studies of what is actually happening in China. Finally, a model and methodology for students and practitioners to follow is presented. The authors bring both academic and practitioner perspectives to these issues, which are illustrated empirically by 33 in-depth case studies.

The book will appeal to students at undergraduate or graduate level studying the human resource discipline. Practitioners and those preparing to manage people in China will find the chapters on the selected elements of the HRM function invaluable.
