admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 02:49:52 +0000

The Forestry Commission is a government department, making it a public sector organisation.

This article is a case study indicating that how a CEO tells why HR should work hand-in-hand with finance in a merger. If one look at the acquisition strategy of most companies, the earlier is to get in the process, the more it is skewed to finance and less to HR.
