The Differentiated Workforce: Transforming Talent into Strategic Impact

Becker (human resources, State U. of New York), Huselid (human resource strategy, Rutgers U.) and Beatty (human resource management, Rutgers U.) recommend a human capital plan that aligns talent with corporate strategy. Put bluntly, the authors recommend that organization management identify the company's strategic capabilities, identify the most significant positions within those capabilities, and fill them with the most talented employees. The book is intended for HR leaders, line managers, and others responsible for shaping or contributing to corporate strategy. The book is written in a clear style, and concepts are well-explained and illustrated. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
