Comparisons and Perspectives on HRM in the Asia Pacific

Abstract

The management of human resources in different countries has become an area of increasing interest for academics and business, one that has taken on Asian aspects. Contributing to this fascination are various views of economic development and the key ingredients of employees, ‘the human touch’ and people management. Various contributions to the field are outlined, including such perennially popular siren songs as convergence and ‘one best way’, concluding that ideas of universalism and nostrums of best practice remain far too simplistic in the dynamic and diverse world of HRM.
