As a new millennium approaches, many politicians, commentators, academics, management gurus and business people have been increasingly casting their gaze towards Asia in the belief that the 'Pacific Age' is also beckoning. The region's dynamism is seen as rooted in particular managerial practices, such as kaizen and Total Quality Management; in state intervention; or in cultural factors, notably Confucianism. An integral ingredient to all these factors is the management of 'human resources' with the 'human touch', seen to proffer key advantages in an era of globlization, market flux, competition by quality and service, and rapid transference of technologies. This volume examines not only policy and practice but also the restrictions and contraints on the convergence and transference of HRM. The articles cover locations as diverse as the Philippines, Thailand, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.
