From the Inside Flap
How do CEOs, CFOs, or CHROs manage the economic geography called Asia? When top managers talk about their "Asian employees," who comes to mind? Is it the Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, Singaporean, Filipino, or Vietnamese they are referring to? When global human resource heads rollout blockbuster pay, incentive, or performance management programs, do they cast Asia as one region or a collage of geographical boundaries with five time zones, a land with people speaking 80 languages, trading 37 currencies, and running 39 systems of governments?
This is a much-awaited book that explores HR management from an "Asian" viewpoint. Written by experts who have in-depth experience in Asia, this book gives managers timely examples, war stories, and case studies of organizations that have struggled to manage the diverse HR needs in the Asian environment. Some of the issues the book explores include:
1. How Chinese organizations are coping with the deluge of new compensation and performance management programs that have stormed their meetingrooms
2. How India may be a talent oasis but lags in developing programs to retain its highly mobile workforce
3. How Asian leadership models have changed with time as patriarchs make way for their Ivy-League trained children
4. How expatriate pay patterns have evolved
5. How HR is Asia needs to cope with the globalized world while maintaining local needs
Most modern HR books address global issues that are short of local context. What makes this book important is the historical and cultural context coupled with Asian-focused experiences, making it a rare tome.
