For companies striving to meet the competitive challenges of today and tomorrow - including globalization, technology, profitability through growth, and capacity for change - the management of human resources holds the key to future success.

He provides a framework that identifies four distinct roles of human resource professionals: strategic player, administrative expert, employee champion, and change agent.
