The human capital represented by corporate employees involved in the information and knowledge economy is becoming an increasingly central value-creating factor in global competition. However, in contrast to other value-creating factors, human capital is more difficult to measure, evaluate and manage. Due to human capital's great importance for economic value creation, a series of studies on human capital evaluation have been published during the last few years. This paper discusses why so many traditional evaluation methods are only partly appropriate for categorizing, analyzing and evaluating human capital's special characteristics. In particular, it is difficult for many traditional approaches to integrate notions of flexibility and options with regard to the human capital of compani...

This article concerns itself with the effects of dismissal protection on personnel management behavior within companies. The basis of the empirical analysis is 41 expert interviews conducted in 2006 as well as information available from a standardized survey of 750 personnel managers which was carried out in 2007.

A broad spectrum of theories from different disciplines is portrayed in contemporary HRM. Theories from psychology, sociology and economics correspond to the variety of problems addressed in HRM which are again situated at different levels of analysis, namely on the individual, group and organizational level. A narrow focus solely on economic approaches, as sometimes suggested in personnel economics, is therefore not sufficient. Instead, the contemporary "rational choice" approach may serve as a "new" basis for the discipline. The approach stems from economics and sociology and, as an offspring of these, combines elements of action and structure in its basic explanatory models. This article introduces basic elements of the modern "rational choice" approach: the macro-micro-macro model o...
