Globalization |
 by Karen Beaman (Editor) (originally published May 2002)
The benefits of globalization are so well known that most businesses would take full advantages of them immediately - if only it were easier to do. Making globalization work demands new types of expertise that traditional organizations often lack. While technology has eliminated a number of barriers to globalization, many significant barriers remain, notably those involving people and the organizations we build around them. The purpose of this book is to provide some insights to HR professionals on how to overcome the internal and external barriers to globalization. Slated to be the definitive writing on HR globalization to date, the book contains 20 chapters covering Organization, Planning, Culture, The Role of HR, HRIS, and a look into The Future. |

Shared Services |
 by 28 Experts in shared services operations; business process outsourcing and HR information technology, Karen V. Beaman (Editor), Allison Pickett (Illustrator) (originally published December 2006)
People may ask why the world needs another book on shared services or human resources (HR) for that matter. Yet among the plethora of materials, there isn't one single source for the HR professional to turn to when given the new assignment "implement shared services" or "optimize an existing shared services operation." Hence, this book was conceived with the goal of becoming the definitive resource on shared services for Human Resources. This book is divided into 14 fairly autonomous sections - all critical components in an effective shared services deployment. The chapters can be read sequentially by the neophyte seeking a comprehensive understanding of shared services in the HR environment or individually by the experienced professional looking to improve the company's existing operations.

Sourcing Strategies |
 by Karen Beaman (Editor) (originally published July 2004)
This volume is a collection of articles by well-known, highly experienced professionals in the field. Its goal is to provide a comprehensive, inside view of HR outsourcing -- from defining a strategic vision, developing a business plan, and redesigning the organization, to deploying new business processes, transitioning to a new delivery model, and managing people and change. It also provides an overview of regional outsourcing trends, with chapters on Europe, Latin America, and Asia/Pacific. Finally, to ensure a balanced perspective, Out of Site includes a discussion of the case "against" outsourcing and why outsourcing may not always be the best strategy for everyone. It is a "must read" for all HR professionals, regardless of industry or company size. As companies grapple with how to "do more with less," outsourcing will continue to be an important strategy. |
