Recommendation
Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner cite interesting facts and studies as they discuss various facets of human resource management in an effort to bring HR departments closer to the daily lives and daily work of their diverse employees. They cover including change, motivation, recruitment, assessment tools, managing teams, organizational learning, leadership development and diversity, all with some attention to cross-cultural issues. Even if their reach sometimes exceeds their grasp, pulling all these elements together in a diverse organization remains a worthwhile goal.
