Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Führung und Personal - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, AKAD University, ehem. AKAD Fachhochschule Stuttgart, Veranstaltung: Issues in International Human Resources Management (PER10), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In a rapidly changing business environment organizations are increasingly realizing that people are the most critical con-tributors to success. In order to compete in the twenty-first century, Human Resources professionals have to focus on various tasks and challenges. Managing knowledge workers becomes a new challenge. Companies that want to cope with the challenges have to invest in the development of the skills of their employees. The tools and methods for identification and transfer of knowledge can be grouped under the term of “Skill Management”. But can Skill Management actually contribute to the entrepreneurial success? What are the tasks and challenges that have to be faced by a modern HRM? Why are people the most important asset of an organization, and what are currently important requirements to attract, engage, and retain knowledge workers?
