Features: In today's era, the standard of corporate success has transcended national boundaries, and joining the Fortune Global 500 has become a development aspiration for many Chinese enterprises. However, nearly half of the companies listed on the Fortune Global 500 in 1981 had fallen off the list by 1989. How can companies like General Electric and Walmart achieve enduring success? Achieving this goal undoubtedly requires a combination of abilities such as vision, innovation, and resilience. However, there is one point that all forward-thinking companies would agree on: respect for talent. As talent competition intensifies, the focus on human resources and organizational behavior has also grown. Employees are the source of a company's DNA, and all of a company's capabilities and strategies must be built and implemented by employees. Today, human resource management has gone beyond the traditional scope of talent selection, utilization, development, and retention. Managers must engage in higher-level thinking: What is the organization's strategy? What organizational capabilities are needed? How to build organizational capabilities that align with the strategy? In management, how to balance the demands of globalization and localization? Organizational behavior studies discard Taylor's mechanistic management and conduct in-depth research on individual and group behavior, motivation, as well as issues such as empowerment, conflict, and negotiation within organizations. This elevates people's understanding of human resource management to a new level. Through case analyses of corporate human resource and organizational behavior practices, this book allows readers to learn from wisdom and experience, avoid mistakes and pitfalls, and ultimately master the principles and methods of human resource management, applying them to their own organizational practices. Peter F. Drucker once said, "The ultimate goal of business management is the management of human resources." This is also the reason why we have included this book in the CEIBS Case Series.
