Summary: "Why Human Capital Is Important for Organizations is an innovative book that derives from the casual meeting of people, scholars, and practitioners who live and work in many different parts of the world. The 'fil rouge' among them is their interpretation of how human resource management actually works in the present organizational context. Concretely, this book encompasses eleven chapters dealing with some of the most important issues in the field of human resource management through the exploration of four key themes: drawing the scenario, the pivots of human capital, measuring human capital, and good practices from abroad"--
