Opis

This wide-ranging review of human resources management (HRM) in Asia draws attention to issues which are substantially different from those which a Western-trained manager or student would expect. Intra-regional issues are examined and, in an unusual approach, topics are organised thematically, rather than by the more typical country-by-country approach.

• Considers the influences on HRM, including the political, economic and social contexts and expectations
• Discusses organisational behaviour impacts on HRM
• Review of HRM in Asia with topics and practices organised thematically and integrated, rather than by country
