Routledge New Models of Human Resource Management in China and India (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the similarities and differences of contemporary human resource management systems, processes and practices in the two increasingly important economic great powers in Asia. It covers the full range of human resource management activities, including recruitment, retention, performance management, renumeration, and career development, discusses changing industrial relations systems, and sets the subject in its historical, social and cultural contexts. It examines newly emerging strategies, and asssesses the extent to which human resource management systems in the two countries are coverging or diverging. Review ‘I would like to recommend strongly "New Models of HRM in China and India". The book highlights the enormous changes in global economic power and influence and the major lessons for international human resource management stemming from these developments. This comparative work is especially valuable for highlighting patterns of continuity and change in these two countries and for drawing out the fundamentally important implications for theory’. - Michael Poole is Professor of HRM, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK.
