Features: In the context of global competition, Chinese enterprises need to continuously improve the localization of their human resource management functions. Managers, in particular, need to accumulate more experience in talent identification, utilization, development, and retention, enhancing their human resource management skills. From a scientific perspective on human resource management, they should strive to maximize the effectiveness of their organization's human resources. Case studies are used to develop learners' professionalism and insight in the human resource management process. Cases are written from six major aspects: recruitment, training, performance appraisal, compensation and benefits, career development, communication, and conflict resolution, showcasing real human resource management scenarios and providing analytical approaches to problem-solving. Compared to general human resource management case collections, this book has the following characteristics: First, it emphasizes a localized perspective. Human resource management practices are often deeply influenced by cultural differences due to their unique management objects and connotations. While human resource management cases from foreign enterprises are certainly worth analyzing and referencing, localized cases can provide learners with a more authentic context and direct inspiration. All cases in this book are set against the backdrop of China's national conditions, realistically portraying the human resource management challenges and issues faced by Chinese enterprises in a transitioning economy. Second, it focuses on practical orientation. Assuming readers have mastered basic human resource management theories, this book summarizes the problems, analyzes potential causes, and proposes corresponding solutions for each relevant human resource management function before each case, thereby helping readers deepen their understanding of human resource management practices. Third, it integrates teaching elements. For specific cases, this book provides detailed case analysis guidelines, points out possible analytical routes, and offers concise case analysis reports, thereby integrating the teaching and learning processes to enable readers to gain a more thorough understanding of the cases. This book can serve as a teaching reference for university management faculty, a reference text for undergraduate and graduate students in management programs, and MBA students, as well as a reference for managers in their work or training.
