Named as BusinessWeek's #1 Management Educator, expert Dave Ulrich and
his team of authors bring human resources a whole new way of thinking
and practicing--moving the focus from internal issues to actively
helping to set business strategies. Businesses of the future need "all
hands on deck" when implementing new ways to stimulate grown and cost
efficiency, and this includes human resources.
In HR Transformation, the team presents a four-phase model of
transformation that shows you step-by-step how to make meaningful
progress in contributing to the performance of your company by
redesigning HR to work as a strategic partnership.
