La ventaja competitiva de las empresas no radica en sus recursos materiales, energéticos, financieros, ni tecnológicos, sino en el nivel de formación y gestión de sus recursos humanos. Ya Bill Gates decía a finales del siglo XX que una empresa gestiona, esencialmente, datos, documentos y el trabajo de las personas, y que por ello su finalidad es mejorar la manera en que las personas colaboran entre ellas. En esta nueva edición se reiteran los conceptos, tecnologías y enfoque de la edición anterior, y se describe el rol de la tecnología en la Gestión del Recurso Humano (GRH), el capital intelectual en la empresa, la gestión por competencias, la selección de personal, los planes de carrera, la organización que aprende (learning organization) y la compensación laboral. Se incluye un nuevo capítulo sobre evaluación del desempeño laboral y su relación con el desempeño estratégico empresarial bajo el modelo conceptual de análisis GRH-DPC (Diagnóstico, Planificación y Control). Este texto sirve de referencia para estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado en Administración de Empresas, Psicología y Trabajo Social, y sobre todo para directivos y profesionales que tienen fe en el mejoramiento humano.

Countries have been competing against each other in order to attract financial investment and human capital for decades. However, emerging economies have a long way to go before they achieve the same levels of competitiveness as a developed economy. Lack of firm institutions, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trust in the legal system are urgent and unavoidable factors that emerging economies must address. The Handbook of Research on Increasing the Competitiveness of SMEs provides innovative insights on integrating, adapting, and building models and strategies compatible with the development of competitiveness in small and medium enterprises in emerging countries. The content within this publication examines quality management, organizational leadership, and digital security. It is designed for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, executives, business professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.

Human resource departments have been a crucial part of business practices for decades and particularly in modern times as professionals deal with multigenerational workers, diversity initiatives, and global health and economic crises. There is a necessity for human resource departments to change as well to adapt to new societal perspectives, technology, and business practices. It is important for human resource managers to keep up to date with all emerging human resource practices in order to support successful and productive organizations. The Research Anthology on Human Resource Practices for the Modern Workforce presents a dynamic and diverse collection of global practices for human resource departments. This anthology discusses the emerging practices as well as modern technologies and initiatives that affect the way human resources must be conducted. Covering topics such as machine learning, organizational culture, and social entrepreneurship, this book is an excellent resource for human resource employees, managers, CEOs, employees, business students and professors, researchers, and academicians.
