HRM (human resource management) suffers from a selective tendancy and ad hoc approach, which misses the historical, paradoxical often incoherent, incompatible and inconsistent nature of the subject. This text reduces this myopia by adding to our knowledge and the milieu within which it operates.
Introduction - comparisons and perspectives on HRM in the Asia Pacific; China's HRM in transition - towards relative convergence?; economic re-structuring and HRM in Hong Kong; HRM in Japanese enterprises - trends and challenges; beyond seniority-based systems - a paradigm shift in Korean HRM?; converging and diverging trends in HRM - the Philippine Halo-Halo approach; HR, under guided economic development - the Singapore experience; the development of HRM practices in Taiwan; HRM in Thailand - eroding traditions. Conclusion: reassessing HRM's convergence; abstracts.
