How does HR manage a continent called Asia? Is Asia a region or is it closer to being a mindset? What does HR mean when it talks about the "Asian employee"? When global HR rolls out blockbuster programs, does it view Asia as one region or a collage of geographical boundaries with five time zones, a land mass with people speaking 80 languages, trading 37 currencies and running 39 systems of governments.
This book sets HR in the context of Asia's cultural and economic diversity, and takes a close-up look at the HR challenges that organizations face in a volatile global economy competing for tomorrow's business. It is written for the HR professional looking for best practices, the CEO seeking information on HR, and the business manager constantly being overwhelmed by the HR transformation taking place in Asia.
