The New Human Capital Strategy

Top executives routinely state that employees are the most important factor in their company's success-but is the value of human productivity actually improving or just maintaining? This book emphasizes ways to improve a company's human assets, rather than simply managing them well. The process features four dimensions: effective executive teams, leaders who deliver results, beating competitors, and performance improvement. Author Bradley W. Hall, PhD, explains how to achieve excellence in each dimension and achieve the competitive advantage.

Bradley W. Hall, Ph.D. (Brookfield, CT) has been a senior HR executive for several top companies, including ABN AMRO Bank in Amsterdam, IBM, and AT&T Global Services. He is now head of the consulting firm Hall & Company, Inc. and teaches in Duke University's corporate education program.
