The Role of HR in Global Business

The management of a firm’s human resources represents a key strategic activity in a global business organization since people represent its most valuable resource and how they are selected, hired, trained, compensated, and retained plays a decisive role in determining how well a business is able to achieve its dual strategic imperatives of reducing its costs and creating added value for its customers.
