Organizations
today are facing heightened challenges in their efforts to perform
effectively. These challenges are reflected in the failure of many
long-standing organizations and the shortened tenure of senior level
executives. There is increasing agreement that the unique competitive
advantage organizations have today lies in their people, their human
resource management practices and their cultures. All other elements of
production can be readily obtained, bought or copied. We are now in the
era of human capital; to be successful organizations need to unleash the
talents of their people. Fortunately we now have considerable
understanding of what high performing organizations look like. However, a
large gap still exists between what we know and what managers actually
do. With contributions from a team of leading academics and
practitioners, Building More
Effective Organizations provides an extensive survey of human resource
management and the organizational practices associated with the high
performance of individuals.
