Items related to Managing Human Resources: An Asian Perspective
This first edition of Managing Human Resources: an Asian perspective is based on the textbook Human Resource Management 6th edition by Raymond J. Stone, the longest running and most successful Australian textbook ever produced in the field of HRM. Despite its 'parent' textbook having also been popular in Asia over a long period, author Ray Stone's many years of living, working and teaching in Asia provided the impetus for this much needed Asia-specific edition. With a focus on HR practices in Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia Singapore and China, readers will find a wealth of examples, practical activities, key statistics and research. Managing Human Resources: an Asian perspective is an invaluable new resource for HR students, lecturers and professionals in the Asian region.
