Rating: 5

This is by far the most insightful and relevant work yet on effectively managing human capital in the global workplace. Let's face it; there's no such thing as a regional business model anymore. It is truly a global economy and our practices must change with it. From firsthand perspective, Dr. Lundby sheds light on everything from attracting top-flight talent to adjusting to the ex-pat lifestyle. A pleasant surprise and a must read.
