KEY FEATURES OF THE BOOK
A robust framework, which takes us to the strategy journey from concept-
development of the master plan; alignment to business strategy. It interlinks
environmental analysis with analysis of the firm - the two hemispheres of
strategic management. It guides moving
away from the traditional inward looking approach - at operations and best
practices and crossing the chasm to be outbound looking at the markets and external
challenges in the changing business environment.
CEOs in todays scenario of cost crunching; are compelled to ask for more measurement
and accountability. Consequently the HCM function is under pressure, internally, to show REAL
VALUE. In response HCM leaders are
on a sticky wicket. A probable reason could the HCM function has
never highlighted its contribution to
creating business value; added except in trendy, unquantifiable, and wannabe terms. the model directs to Management-By-Measurement - to give
it a real-time base sing principles of evaluation.
Finally HCM
4.0 MODEL hits upon the tricks and tactics of
execution.. Each part of this book gives
steps to design, manage, and implement the model. The aim of this model is to approach the subject from a practical angle.
. Each segment of the model involves a roadmap for
‘’getting things done’’ this book
is most application based every concept is
linked to practical application. I have tried to share experiences and insights into how every HCM manager needs to wrestle with complex issues
and
helped
turn
ideas into action
Numerous examples of human resource practices are provided throughout the book,
which can be practiced across the spectrum of industry; by companies both small
and large.
The New and improved HCM
4.0 MODEL needs HCM professions who are commercially adept and are able to move
ahead of the blind curve and anticipate business challenges. The book address the issue the new
competencies HCM professionals; who need
to acquire the ‘business centric’’ mindset which can enable all senior HCM
professionals to discuss eyeball to eyeball with the counterparts in the
functions.
Discussion and Review Questions, and
activities at the chapter-end to help MBA students or HCM Planning Retreats in
companies have been given. This book is chequered with Key Concept /Critical
Reflection boxes. They should help
every reader to trigger
the necessary critical thinking and reflective skills to fully engage
with the subject.

PROFESSORS /ACADEMICIANS
OR STUDENTS OF MBA IN INDIAN B-SCHOOLS
Professors /academicians or students of MBA
in Indian B-Schools will find this book to be a helpful
reference. They rightly complain that textbooks whose
coverage is restricted to the prescribe syllabus have limited value. What is
needed on the bookshelf is a textbook which helps them to look beyond - to know the
realities of the business world and explains complex issues with
simple insight for practical application. Besides the MBA course
prescribes internal assessments and
group research dissertations; the End-of-Chapter exercises
will give the needed the real-time edge. They would enrich the class presentations
which are an important part of the curriculum.
