"Doing business internationally is a country-by-country challenge, and Macro-Talent Management gives us a world tour, not available elsewhere, of the government policies, demographics, and the other attributes that affect how employers hire, develop, and manage a workforce across the major countries of the world. An important resource for doing business and learning about business around the world."
