Cross-Cultural People Management explores the issue of employee values in today's organizations. It prompts reflection on key questions such as "How was human resource management formed, and what is its true purpose?" and "What should be the future direction of human resource management?" Regarding what human resource management must do to adapt to today's business challenges, Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner articulate their insights. Their perspective is that people management must incorporate the values of entrepreneurs—such as being sharp, flexible, and innovative—to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the business. The author also advocates that as employees of the company approach the boundaries of learning and innovation, the work environment must be customized to facilitate development and learning. Functional boundaries must also be dismantled. You will find that the proper positioning of human resource management lies at the root of any enterprise, where ideas originate and are put into action.
