Features: Cutting-edge in the field of human resource management, this phenomenon reflects both the importance of human resource management and its development trend—advancing towards deeper and macro perspectives. The authors of this book can be considered pioneers in this field. They break free from the narrow confines of discussing human resource management solely from the perspectives of people, performance, job design, and law, and innovatively approach human resource management from a strategic angle. They guide readers to view the allocation, management, and optimization of organizational human resources from a holistic and long-term perspective. This perspective and vision are indispensable for companies to maintain success and development in the future.
This book pioneers the strategic approach to human resource management, interpreting the allocation, management, and optimization of organizational human resources from a comprehensive and long-term perspective—a first in China and the focal point of the entire book. Through real-life stories of seven major companies—Disney, Microsoft, Walmart, Federal Express, McDonald's, Intel, and Delta—this book vividly and clearly demonstrates how top global enterprises achieve an organic and efficient integration of human resource management with the overall corporate strategy.
At the end of each chapter, the "Management Guidelines" reveal practical techniques for applying theory to practice, serving as a highlight and insightful commentary. The in-depth and practical descriptions of ethics, internationalization, and new technologies will be another major highlight of this book.
