The last years of the 20th Century may well have reflected a brief "golden age" for Human Resource Management. In an economy where ideas and capital were plentiful, the critical facet for success increasingly became human resources. Having the people on hand, with the right skills to bring new products into existence with a first mover advantage became the definitive factor. As a result, policies and initiatives at the intersection of Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Management proliferated in an unprecedented way, and is the focus of this volume. As is traditional for the series, the volume includes two major reviews: of HRM in entrepreneurship and of stock related rewards.

20世纪的最后几年很可能反映了人力资源管理的短暂“黄金时代”。在一个思想和资本丰富的经济体中，成功的关键因素越来越成为人力资源。拥有掌握适当技能的人员，以先发优势将新产品带入市场，这成为决定性因素。因此，创业和人力资源管理交叉点的政策和举措以前所未有的方式激增，成为本卷的重点。与本系列的传统内容一样，本书包括两大评论：企业家精神中的人力资源管理和股票相关奖励。
