With the rapid expansion of global markets, managers in business enterprises are struggling to balance the need to think globally & act locally. Re-engineering, consolidation, acquisition and mergers are now commonplace. In the latest book by Sterling and authored by noted Human Resource professional & Analyst Saugata Mitra, titled 18 Management Competencies-Business Professionals Cannot Ignore, Human Resource has been identified as the only living resource without which none of the other businesses can move to deliver the business outcomes.
The uniqueness of the book lies in its simplicity in defining the basic nature of a competency, apart from providing valuable insights into the core of HR issues and an understanding of the new challenges being faced by HR professionals in a rapidly changing business environment.
It is a great handbook for HR & business professionals, apart from management students looking for in-depth knowledge of competencies and would surely be seen as a welcome change from the existing dry management books in the market. |
