Reviews

"Global Human Resource Development is an excellent book on the ins and outs of human resource development across almost 100 countries. The chapters are written by experts in the countries represented following a common format. The book can be used effectively in courses on global training and development, global talent management, and global leadership." –Randall S. Schuler, Rutgers University, USA
