resources professionals tasked with maximising competitive advantage through the management of human and intellectual resources, this means coming to terms with individual local HR practices.
Understanding how your methods will impact on the local workforce and how you will need to adapt your approach to the local environment are just two of the factors needed to be taken into consideration.‘HR Issues in Asia-Pacific’ offers you an ideal introduction to the countries of the region from an HR perspective and a springboard for discussion of the complex cultural and regulatory issues faced by international HR professionals working
