South East Asia has undergone important economic, social and
political developments in the last decade. The emergence of China
as Asia's largest pool of cheap labour has resulted in remarkable
changes in the volume of foreign direct investment it commands,
while the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis has undoubtedly influenced
managerial practices in the majority of the countries in the
region. In response, South East Asian governments and businesses
have sought ways of attracting new investors while intensifying
their efforts to retain existing industries.
This important new volume overviews the development of South
East Asian management practices, focusing on human resource
management (HRM) as an indicator and measure of change. Written by
prominent scholars of the region, the book focuses on reform in the
human resource (HR) managerial domain, documenting recent changes
and assessing current practices from both macro and micro
perspectives. A consistent structure and content is used
throughout, with each chapter incorporating 'real life' local
organisational and manager case studies, plus vignettes to give
'voice' to practitioners and developments.
This is essential reading for anybody with an interest in
management, HR or the political, social, cultural and economic
profiles of the countries of South East Asia.
