HRD in the Age of Globalization: A Practical Guide To Workplace Learning In The Third Millennium (New Perspectives in Organizational Learning, Performance, and Change)
by Michael Marquardt Peter Loan Nancy BergerThe pro- and anti-globalization forces may be logically at odds, but there's little dispute on the inevitability of globalization's forward march. And as Michael Marquardt, Nancy Berger, and Peter Loan explain, the real issue is not stopping or promoting globalization, but rather how to minimize the negative effects of globalization and leverage its powerful, positive effects. Human Resource Development will play a key role in determining this transformation. At no time in history has HRD been more critical in solving urgent economic and social problems faced by a wide array of groups, communities, organizations, and nations. HRD in the Age of Globalization explores the best HRD programs in twelve geographic regions and their impact on culture, the global environment, and other geopolitical and demographic elements. This book not only answers all the questions that exist concerning this burgeoning field-it tells us what questions we should be asking.

HRM, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work: Insights from the Global South
by Chima Mordi Hakeem Adeniyi Ajonbadi Olatunji David AdekoyaThe rise of artificial intelligence is having a profound impact on human resource management, as AI is being used to automate a wide range of HR tasks and functions, from recruiting and onboarding to performance management and compensation. However, the impact of AI on HRM is not evenly distributed. Due to a variety of factors, the Global South is lagging behind the Global North in terms of AI adoption, creating a widening disparity in the effectiveness and efficiency of HR operations. This edited book explores HRM, artificial intelligence and the future of work in the Global South. It addresses key elements of how technology is transforming the workplace and people management, including HR automation, robotisation, big data analytics, smart systems, virtualisation, AI, machine learning and the Internet of Things. The chapters offer a collection of cases from various Global South countries, draw on various types of research (empirical, review papers, conceptual and theoretical) andincorporate contextual issues such as technology, politics, culture, ethics and economics. Despite the relatively slow adoption of AI in the Global South compared to developed nations, its potential impact on the future of work remains significant, particularly in shaping the role of HR as a bridge between technology and human resources. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars, students and policymakers interested in the future of work in the Global South, as it brings together critical insights from scholars and practitioners from the region, providing a much-needed perspective on this important issue.
HRM, Technical Workers and the Multinational Corporation (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies)
by Patrick McGovernThis book is the first major in-depth study of the impact of contemporary management practices on a rapidly expanding set of white-collar occupations, namely technical workers. It investigates whether HRM schemes such as employee appraisals and performance related pay have transformed technical work to such an extent that it can no longer be described as a 'service contract'. The book contains detailed examination of the nature of managerial control over employees who, by virtue of their committment, present their employers with problems that are often ignored by prescriptive models of HRM. The empirical evidence features case studies of matched pairs of hi-tech firms in the Irish Republic. The author examines recent debates about the nature of employment and the role of the multinational corporations within the so-called 'Celtic Tiger' Irish economy.

HTC Corp. in 2009
by David B. Yoffie Renee KimTaiwan-based HTC Corp. had emerged as the world's fourth largest smartphone manufacturer by 2009. CEO Peter Chou was extremely proud of the remarkable achievements his company had made over the last 12 years since starting off as an unknown manufacturer of PDAs for other companies. Yet Chou faced several decisions in order to move his company forward. Competition for high-end, sophisticated mobile devices was intensifying as HTC faced big name players such as Nokia, Apple, and Samsung Electronics. Many companies were offering their own application stores. What did HTC have to do to become a more powerful global brand? Where should HTC participate in the value chain in one of the most exciting, innovative product categories in the technology world?

HTC and Virtual Reality
by David B. Yoffie Allison M. Ciechanover Andy WuIn fall 2017, HTC CEO and Chairperson Cher Wang was driving the company to focus on virtual reality (VR). HTC's first VR product, VIVE, released in spring 2016, was applauded for its superior immersive room-scale capabilities. However, early adoption of VR beyond gamers and technology enthusiasts was off to a slower start in general due to high cost, lack of quality content, and some user discomfort while using the technology. Wang endeavors to be the leading VR company, though competition from Sony, Facebook, and other technology leaders is mounting, and several, like HTC, are already pursuing second generation tetherless VR technology. As Wang seeks to develop the ecosystem by partnering with developers, creating a content platform, investing in VR startups, and launching VR arcades, she must decide the appropriate balance of fostering innovation in hardware, software and services, or both.

HYPERID - A Hybrid Methodology for Project Management and Product Development
by Arash ParsaniaThis book describes a new methodology for planning and delivering projects and products. HYPERID (Hyper Inter-Methodological Delivery) is suitable for any type of project - from developing AI-powered software to building a skyscraper - regardless of whether those projects have typically been delivered using agile or sequential methods to date. HYPERID is particularly suitable for "fixed time/fixed price" projects and can address the core project delivery needs of today's enterprises that primarily revolve around predictability and successful delivery in terms of cost, time, and added value while remaining agile.HYPERID, as a hybrid methodology, makes use of some existing approaches and complements them with additional processes, structures, best practices, and behaviors. The methodology was developed because previous process models - classic (such as the waterfall method) and agile (including Scrum) cannot meet some of today’s key requirements. HYPERID can be used to address the following core needs: reliable predictability and rapid planning, iterative and value-added results, and on-time and on-budget execution. The book is structured in such a way that the reader can learn all the necessary skills for planning and implementation according to the HYPERID methodology. The explanation of the individual steps is supplemented by background information, examples, and both best and bad practices. HYPERID is aimed at project managers and product managers, as well as executives who want to improve the implementation of their projects or products. On the HYPERID website you will find further information, updates, and tools for practical implementation.
HYPERID – Die hybride Methodologie für Projektmanagement und Produktentwicklung
by Arash ParsaniaDieses Fachbuch beschreibt eine neue Methodologie für die Planung und Umsetzung von Projekten und Produkten HYPERID, abgekürzt von „Hyper Inter-Methodological Delivery“, ist so konzipiert, dass es für jeden Projekt-Typ – von der Entwicklung KI-gestützter Software bis hin zum Bau eines Hochhauses – geeignet ist, ganz gleich, ob diese Projekte bisher typischerweise agil oder sequenziell durchgeführt wurden. Insbesondere ist HYPERID auch für „Fixed Time/Fixed Price“-Projekte geeignet und ist somit in der Lage, Kernbedürfnissen heutiger Unternehmen in Bezug auf die Lieferung von Projekten Rechnung zu tragen, die sich primär um die Vorhersehbarkeit und erfolgreiche Lieferung in Bezug auf Kosten, Zeit und Mehrwerten bei gleichzeitiger Agilität drehen.HYPERID bedient sich als hybrides Vorgehensmodell einigen bestehenden Ansätzen und ergänzt diese um weitere Prozesse, Strukturen, Best Practices und Verhaltensweisen. Die Methodologie wurde entwickelt, da bisherige Vorgehensmodelle – klassische (wie Wasserfall-Methode) und agile (wie Scrum) – einigen Anforderungen nicht gerecht werden können. Mit Hilfe von HYPERID können folgende Kernbedürfnisse abgedeckt werden: verlässliche Vorhersehbarkeit und schnelle Planung, iterative und mehrwertgetriebene Ergebnisse sowie eine zeit- und budgetgerechte Umsetzung. Das Buch ist so strukturiert, dass dem Leser alle notwendigen Fähigkeiten zur Planung und Umsetzung nach HYPERID aufeinander aufbauend vermittelt werden. Die Erläuterung der einzelnen Schritte wird ergänzt durch Hintergrund-Informationen, Beispiele, Best und Bad Practices. HYPERID richtet sich an Projektleiter und Product Manager, aber auch Führungskräfte, welche die Umsetzung ihrer Projekte oder Produkte verbessern möchten. Auf der Webpräsenz von HYPERID finden Sie weitere Informationen, Aktualisierungen und Tools zur praktischen Umsetzung.
