《亚洲人力资源管理路线手册》涵盖了非常广泛的主题。它确实与许多国家打交道，西至印度，东至中国和日本，南至新加坡，以及该地区的其他国家。亚洲作为一个大陆很重要，因为它拥有全球约一半的劳动力，我们肯定需要比目前提供的人力资源管理更多地了解亚洲的人力资源管理。这本书提供了一条理解其各自国家劳动力的复杂性和现实的途径，并提供了一个比较的视角来看待它们。这本新手册的编辑，澳大利亚莫纳什大学人力资源管理和亚洲研究特聘教授Fang Lee Cooke和澳大利亚新南威尔士大学管理学院高级讲师Sunghoon Kim，分别是该领域的知名人物，他们的章节撰稿人也都很有资格和胜任这项任务。它涵盖了一系列主题和案例研究，各自的部分包括：机构和文化背景、劳动法规和劳资关系、专题和职能人力资源管理，以及选定亚洲国家(如中国、日本、越南、印度和新加坡)的人力资源管理。这本书几乎没有竞争对手，因为它的覆盖面如此之广，但一如既往地，很明显，“魔鬼在于细节”。库克博士和金博士为这本书贡献了导言和结束语，这本书很好地列出了菜单。该藏品的整体架构也结构良好。这本书有460页，大概有合适的长度。它在范围和范围上确实是全面的，并有一系列广泛的案例研究来完成此次发行。即便如此，亚洲的经济、政治和社会构成相当不同，因此很难进行分析。在这方面，这位评论家本希望在手册中包含更多的理论。此外，报道的内容多种多样，印度和巴基斯坦可能会有更多关于他们的报道。就中国而言，考虑到它的规模和作为一个新的经济超级大国的崛起，应该委托进行更多详细的研究。即便如此，《信贷手册》还是在亚洲人力资源管理的比较指南领域开辟了新天地。虽然这本书不能在一次会议中阅读，但它将是该领域的本科生和研究生，特别是MBA学生的参考著作。它也应该吸引人力资源专业人士。然而，以封面价格计算，它真的需要一个平装版才能很快问世。但无论如何，精装本的这本书显然对任何教职员工的图书馆都是一个有价值的补充。
The Routledge Handbook of Human Resource Management in Asia covers a very wide range of topics. It indeed deals with many countries such as India to the West, China and Japan to the East and Singapore to the South, as well as others in the region. Asia as a continent is important in that it contains about half of the global workforce and we surely need to know a lot more about its HRM than currently on offer. This volume offers a path to understanding the complexities and realities of its respective national workforces and a comparative perspective for looking at them. The Editors of this new Handbook, Fang Lee Cooke, Distinguished Professor of HRM and Asia Studies at Monash University, Australia and Sunghoon Kim, Senior Lecturer in the School of Management at the University of New South Wales, Australia, are respectively well known in the field and their chapter contributors are all also well qualified and up to the task. Covering a range of themes and case studies, its respective sections include: Institutional and cultural contexts, Labour regulation and industrial relations, Thematic and functional HRM, and HRM in selected Asian countries, such as China, Japan, Vietnam, India and Singapore. The book has few competitors given this breadth of coverage but as ever it is clear that ‘the devil is in the detail’. Drs. Cooke and Kim have contributed an introduction and concluding chapter to the volume which competently sets out the bill of fare. The overall architecture of the collection is also well structured. At 460 pages, the volume is probably about the right length. It is indeed comprehensive in its range and scope, with a wide set of case studies to complete the offering. Even so, Asia is rather heterogeneous in its economic, political and social composition and therefore rather difficult treat analytically. On this tack, this reviewer would have liked to have seen a little more theory included in the Handbook. Also the coverage is variable and India and Pakistan might have had more included about them. As far as China is concerned, additional detailed studies should have been commissioned, given its size and emergence as a new economic superpower. Even so, the Handbook to its credit breaks new ground in its field a comparative guide to Asia HRM. While this volume cannot be read in a single session, it will be invaluable as a work of reference both undergraduates and postgraduates in the field, especially MBAs. It should also appeal to HR professionals. At the cover price, it really needs a paperback edition to come out soon, however. But, in any event, in hardback, the volume is clearly a valuable addition to any faculty library.
