About this title

Synopsis:

This book is a wide-ranging review of human resources (HR) management (HRM) in Asia. It draws particular attention to issues which are substantially different from those which a Western trained manager or student would expect. Intra-regional issues are also highlighted. In an unusual approach, topics are organised thematically, rather than by the more typical country-by-country approach. Part 1 considers the influences on HRM, including the political, economic and social contexts and expectations. It discusses organisational behaviour impacts on HRM. Part 2 presents a review of HRM in Asia with topics and practices organised thematically and integrated, rather than by country. It focuses on specific HRM techniques, such as recruitment and rewards, and the variations found in different parts of Asia. It also combines academic rigour and practical management impact, and considers likely future developments.
