In the future, will human resource management emerge as an even more critical factor in developing and maintaining a company′s competitive edge, or will it become just one more outsourced function overseen by managers busy juggling several other responsibilities at the same time?

5.0 out of 5 stars PRESENTS AN IMPRESSIVE PANORAMA OF NEWEST IDEAS ABOUT HRM., 13 April 1999
By A Customer
This is an impressive collection of 38 insightful essays offering core ideas about HRM, focusing six central themes: departments need to operate as a business; today's environment means new roles for HR; HR needs to build on its past; new competencies, roles and use of measurement are vital; the human enterprise must remain central; and HR must adjust to the new global realities. Presents an impressive panorama of the newest thinking about HRM. Reviewed by Yvette Borcia, author of Stern's Sourcefinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and Stern's Compensation and Benefits SourceFinder.
