Content
- Why is the „human factor“ which used to play a secondary role compared to tangible resources considered indispensible nowadays?
- Which fields of action are the ones most dependent on HRM as an ancillary support function?
- Which fields of action are the ones crucially dependent on HRM as a central function?
- Where could failures have been avoided had the „human factor“ been taken sufficiently into account? (e. g., Mergers and Acquisitions in management; absorptive capacity in economics)
- How can Human Resource Managers contribute to dealing with boundaryless and networked relations both on a local company level and on a global scale?
- How does management of a company and management of a country relate to each other? How can both profit from economizing on Human Resources in a more systematic way?
