Review Human Resource Accounting: Advances in Concepts, Methods and Applications / Springer:Updating the book since its last publication in 1985, this new edition of the landmark work on human resource accounting has been substantially revised to reflect the current state of the field through the late 1990s. The economies of many nations are increasingly dominated by knowledge- or information-based sectors driven by highly trained and specialized personnel. Whereas physical capital was of the utmost economic importance in the past, the distinctive feature of the emerging post-industrial economies is an increasing reliance on human and intellectual capital. The growing importance of human capital as a determinant of economic success at both the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels dictates that firms need to adjust to this new economic reality. Specifically, if human capital is a key determinant for organizational success, then investment in the training and development of employees to improve performance is a critical component of this success. This broad socioeconomic shift underscores a growing need for measuring and analyzing human capital when making managerial and financial decisions. Yet important human resource decisions involving hiring, training, compensation, productivity and other matters are often made in the absence of specific information about the different costs and benefits of these particular choices. Human resource accounting is a managerial tool that can be used to gain this valuable information by measuring the costs of recruiting, hiring, compensating and training employees. It can be used to evaluate employee training programs, increase productivity, and improve managerial decision-making regarding promotions, transfers, layoffs, replacement and turnover. Case studies illustrate, for example: How an insurance company evaluated a training program for claims adjusters and found that it would return two dollars for every one dollar spent. [+]How a human resources accounting study revealed that an electronics firm's losses from employee turnover equalled one year's new income, and how the company initiated a program to reduce turnovers. The third edition presents the current state of the art of human resource accounting by (1) examining the concepts and methods of accounting for people as human resources; (2) explaining the present and potential uses of human resource accounting for human resource managers, line managers and investors; (3) describing the research, experiments and applications of human resource accounting in organizations; (4) considering the steps involved in developing a human resource accounting system; and (5) discussing some of the remaining aspects of human resource accounting that require further research.

Review Education, Training and Employment Dynamics: Transitional Labour Markets in the European Union (Labour Markets and Employment Policy) / Edward Elgar Publishing:Education and training are of critical importance to individual employment prospects. This title questions whether the policies that govern education, training and employment actually facilitate or inhibit social integration. The authors analyze initial entry into the labour market and subsequent movements between employers, and explore links between education, training and the labour market. The importance of continued training to improve opportunites of promotion is also demonstrated. However, the book goes on to argue that although education is a good predictor of labour market integration and employment potential, and despite political efforts, social background remains influential. Economic, sociological and political science research testing the potential of lifelong learning to enhance social integration is documented, and new theories and evidence on the traditional labour market of learning and working are discussed. A wide range of European countries are also analyzed using data from the European Community Household Panel surveys (ECHP), firm level surveys and case studies.

Review Perspectives on Lifelong Learning in Africa: the Distant Future (Lifelong Learning Book Series) / Springer:This book critically analyses the principles and models of lifelong learning in the African context. It promotes an approach to lifelong learning that makes African ways of thinking and learning, beliefs and value systems integral aspects of the education process. It recognizes the fact that lifelong learning has wide and great appeal in Africa because its framework encompasses learning throughout the life cycle (from birth to death) and in different learning environments (traditional and modern), formal, non-formal and informal. Unlike other books that address the learning processes in Africa, this work recognizes that lifelong learning is more than just education and training beyond formal schooling. The book recognizes that the concept of learning is facing fundamental changes in the context of global knowledge economy, needs and dynamics and yet these changes remain embedded in oral traditions and have unfortunately not been recorded on paper. This book, therefore, intends to commit these experiences on paper, present the various lifelong experiences in selected African countries for the purposes of dissemination and preserving them for posterity. This is in recognition of the fact that one important source of change in Africa has been the accelerating speed of scientific and technological advancement; and the resulting changes in the society and economy in many African countries.

Review Mexican Migration to the United States : The Role of Migration Networks and Human Capital Accumulation (Garland Studies in the History of American Labor) / Routledge:Contrary to the thinking of some U. S. policymakers, changing macroeconomic conditions in the both the U. S. and Mexico have little effect on Mexican migration. This book evaluates the importance of family networks and human capital accumulation in the migration decisions of Mexican households. Family networks substantially increase the likelihood that a Mexican head of household participates in the migration to the United States. The prior migration experience of close relatives and the presence of family and friends in the United States reduce migration costs and provide vital information about the migration process. Moreover, a head of household with a family network tends to be more transitory, spending shorter periods of time on both sides of the border. While in the United States, Mexican migrants may develop new talents and acquire valuable work experience, enabling them to secure higher wages in the Mexican labor market. [+]To examine this largely unexplored topic, the book compares the monthly earnings in Mexico of persons with and without migration experience. U. S. experience is shown to have a powerful impact, with the first year yielding a six-percent increase in earnings. This return far exceeds that which results from an additional year of education or an additional year of work experience in Mexico. Thus the acquisition of human capital may be a powerful motive behind Mexico-U. S. migration, especially for younger Mexicans just entering the labor force. (Ph. D. Dissertation, University of Colorado at Boulder, 1996; revised with new introduction and preface).

Review Working in the Service Sector (Routledge Studies in Business Organization and Networks) / Routledge:The rise to prominence of the service sector - heralded over half a century ago as the great hope for the twenty-first century - has come to fruition. People working in the service sector are now outnumbering those involved with manufacturing in many cases. This growth poses many serious questions: Is more growth in the service sector possible without an expanding manufacturing sector? How great is the need for low-skill, low-paid jobs in the provision of services to households? These and many other questions are answered in an unassuming readable style in this new collection that will be of great interest to all those involved in industrial economics.

Review The Mine Management Professions in the Twentieth-Century Scottish Coal Mining Industry / Edwin Mellen Press:This book seeks to redress the exclusion of colliery managers and other mining professionals from the history of British, and particularly Scottish, coal industries. This is accomplished by examining these groups within the most crucial period of their ascendancy in the Scottish coal mining industry, 1930-1966. This work seeks to place such persons within their context and to examine their roles, statuses and behaviours through their relationships with employees and the execution of their functions, also examining their terms and conditions of employment, the outlook of their professional associations, and that of their union. Through all this, Dr. Perchard illustrates how this growing consciousness amongst managerial employees in the industry was accompanied by an intense public discussion, within the mining professions, over their future shape, principles and occupational standards.
