A firm's productivity has mainly been based on human capital resources, with organizational value and performance dependent on the knowledge and skills of their managers and employees. Because human capital research captures the transformation and complexity of productive organizations in today's globalized economy, it is crucial to grasp the scope and breadth of human capital-intensive firms (HCIF) and their impact in relation to value creation. Global Perspectives on Human Capital-Intensive Firms is an essential reference source that provides an advanced analysis of modern firms at an analytical and empirical level, as well as a transdisciplinary approach to how human capital will impact the economics and management of a firm. Featuring research on topics such as firm performance, knowledge creation, and organizational management, this book is ideally designed for accountants, researchers, professionals, business managers, human resource managers, graduate-level students, academicians, consultants, and practitioners seeking coverage on the evolution of HCIF in different sectors, their internal and external organizations, and their performance.

Depuis plus de vingt ans, la firme connait un certain nombre de changements, dont l'importance croissante du capital humain et le mouvement de desintegration verticale. Ces changements conduisent a renouveler l'approche de la gouvernance d'entreprise. Dans cette perspective, nous examinons tout d'abord la maniere dont les theories de la firme structurent la problematique de la gouvernance d'entreprise. Au-dela de la traditionnelle opposition entre valeur actionnariale et valeur partenariale, nous defendons, ensuite, une vision alternative que nous qualifions de 'multi-ressources'. Le modele associe vise a motiver les partenaires cles au travail pour reguler le pouvoir qu'ils detiennent sur les ressources critiques de la firme. A partir d'une analyse des donnees de l'enquete REPONSE 2004-2005, nous verifions alors que ce nouveau modele de gouvernance repose sur la combinaison de dispositifs verticaux d'incitation, de pratiques horizontales de travail et de modalites decentralisees de prise de decision. Enfin, nous estimons econometriquement les determinants du modele de gouvernance multi-ressources et ceux de la performance des firmes dotees de capital humain specifique.
