Legal and Negotiating Strategies Every Manager Should Know

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:40:24 +0000

Today, in what I like to call the civilized world, disputes are resolved in courtrooms. Sure, that’s a step in the right direction.

The present note is an attempt to capture the process and consequences of institutionalisation of payment of minimum wages in a public sector academic institution. Read more...

HR issues are fundamental to business is compelling at the level of unit labour costs, but whether they are fundamental to the strategy process has remained highly questionable.
