The book in hand provides a diverse view of the human capital, its multifaceted role and application in an organization. The book also offers a comprehensive analysis on the role of human capital in industry 4.0, firm internationalization, and organizational ambidexterity and outlines strategies for the firm to improve its human capital readiness, keeping in view the contemporary business dynamics. A very simple and focused approach has been adopted through the book to make it readable for the people from the diverse fields. The book also focuses upon the conceptualizations and measurements of human capital in order to offer conceptual clarity of human capital to readers.

Reviews / Votes
"Owing to the influx of digital technologies, rapidly changing global dynamics, and the COVID-led transformation, human capital has assumed an ever-important role. Be it a firm or a country, without effectively capitalizing human capital, the goals of economic growth and development can never be achieved. The book in hand provides an-in-depth understating of the role of human capital in the present era and offers very practical strategies to develop and capitalize human capital for growth. The book is a must read premier for all stakeholders alike including employers, academicians, students, faculty members and researchers."Talib Syed Karim, President, Institute of Business Management (IoBM), Karachi; President, Management Association of Pakistan (MAP); President, Association of Management Development Institutions of Pakistan (AMDIP)
"Organizations competing in recent times demand to be highly resilient, which is only possible by the way of developing the right mix of human capitals i.e. education, health care, housing etc. The present book could play an instrumental role in helping organizations to do that. The approach of the book is very simple and to the point with some elaborative examples, making it a wonderful read for business managers, researchers and academics. Particularly, the intellectual discussion on the difference between human capital and human capital resources and its linkage with cutting-edge technologies make this book unique."
Prof. Dr. Shawkat Hammoudeh, Drexel University, USA
"I could say without any shadow of doubt that Dr. Shahbaz and colleagues have made a significant contribution by writing this book. I would strongly recommend this book to those interested to know multifaceted roles of human capital at micro level."
Dr. Muhammad Ali Nasir, Associate Professor, University of Huddersfield, UK
"The work on human capital has entered into a new sphere where the scholars and practitioners are looking forward to combine human and artificial intelligence to get the ground-breaking results. In this vein, present book is a timely contribution, covering diverse aspects of human capital and their linkages. I would strongly recommend researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to benefit from the is book. Particularly, I would like to mention the concept of 'xaptation', which provides deeper insight about the role of human capital in firm performance."
Professor Andreas Kontoleon , Cambridge University, UK
