Topics are presented clearly, allowing readers to quickly grasp and apply key concepts and ideas. The authors share both their academic research and practical experience from around the world, providing case studies and examples to help bring theoretical topics to life. With a strong practitioner focus, this book will provide new insights into how to improve business performance through a unique, strategic approach to human capital"-- Provided by publisher.
