Human Resources as a Source of Competitive Advantage
Abstract
[Excerpt] For business it 's a tough world that 's getting tougher. The reasons are familiar enough: global competition, deregulation, finicky and tough customers, concerned and demanding stockholders, and a dizzying pace of constant change. Rare indeed is the company which has found a comfortable niche in this chaotic world.
