Labour and Industry in the Asia-Pacific

The spectacular economic growth of the Pacific Basin region poses a challenge to advanced industrial countries, East and West. The most successful East Asian nations after Japan are the Newly-Industrialized Countries(NICs): Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. This book focuses on human and industrial relations in these nations, placing human resource development and management in the context of the countries' political systems and economic development programmes.
