Summary: Two rare feats for the strategic HR management literature
Comment: In "Human Resource Management in the Knowledge Economy: New Challenges, New Roles, New Capabilities," the Lengnick-Halls accomplish two rare feats. First of all, this book provides a well-balanced view between researchers and practitioners, using terms that are both recognizable and actionable to both groups. Researchers will appreciate the text for the concept explorations that open doors to new research paths. Practitioners will appreciate the matter-of-fact language that describes how HR practices can be intertwined with strategic management practices to implement a truly strategic HR management program. Secondly, they provide one of the best integrations of human resource management and strategic management available in the form of full-length texts. The "practice" of human resource management has typically been too far removed from the "promise" of strategic human resource management offered by an integration of the two concepts. Practitioners of strategic HR management who have seen their best efforts to make human resource assets an essential component of their firm's strategies become token exercises in paperwork management will appreciate the practical advise contained in this text to reach that goal.

Summary: New perspectives
Comment: Finally a book that is not all jargon as many of the books in this area. Perhaps this stems from the fact that both the authors are academicians with an eye on the industry. The book lays out the different roles HR needs to assume if it does not plan to become redundant in the new economy. I would have liked to see more in terms of translation into a sort of tool kit but given that this is a new area one hopes the next edition will carry the tool kit or perhaps other writers will get inspired to write one. As an ex-HR practitioner and now researcher in this area I feel this book is worth a read and for having on the shelf to see what the future could look like.
