The field of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) has burgeoned over the past thirty years. Over this time there has been a shift towards a strategic conception which posited workers as 'assets' rather than 'costs'. These 'human resources' were reconceptualised as a key source of competitive advantage. As such, these assets were to be treated seriously: selected with care, trained and developed, and above all, induced to offer commitment. The concept of 'human capital' came to the fore, and in the decades following these developments, research output has been voluminous. Strategic Human Resource Management: A Research Overview, authored by global research leaders, provides an expert summary of this crucial element of organizational performance. This new shortform book develops the argument that one of the crucial elements of organizational performance is the way work is organized in skill and talent packages both within an organization's boundary and across global competency clusters. Secondly, it focuses on current and emergent challenges. The 'package' of HR approaches has changed over time and patterns can be observed. This new volume pays special regard to the HR implications arising from radically altering contexts - economic, social, and technological. This concise volume covers crucial themes of lasting interest, and as such is essential reading for business scholars and professionals.

战略人力资源管理（SHRM）是近三十年来兴起的一个研究领域。在这段时间里，一种战略观念发生了转变，这种观念认为工人是“资产”而不是“成本”。这些“人力资源”被重新定义为竞争优势的关键来源。因此，必须认真对待这些资产：谨慎挑选、培训和发展，最重要的是，诱导他们提供承诺。“人力资本”这一概念脱颖而出，在这些发展之后的几十年里，研究成果源远流长。战略人力资源管理：一个研究概述，由全球研究领导者，提供了一个组织绩效这一关键因素的专家总结。这本新的速成书发展了一个论点，即组织绩效的关键要素之一是在组织边界内和跨全球能力集群的技能和人才包中组织工作的方式。其次，它关注当前和紧急的挑战。人力资源方法的“包”随着时间的推移而改变，并且可以观察到模式。这一新的卷特别关注从根本上改变的背景下产生的人力资源的影响-经济，社会和技术。这本简明的书涵盖了持久的兴趣的关键主题，因此是商业学者和专业人士的必要阅读。
