This timely and insightful book offers an innovative, unifying conceptual framework for managing the crucial asset of human capital. In order to do this, Andrea Lanza and Giuseppina Simone bridge the gap between Strategy and Organization disciplines in the study of human capital.

Clarifying ambiguous aspects overlooked by the extant literature, Lanza and Simone provide a new, theoretically grounded managerial tool to help organizations achieve the most from human capital. Based on original empirical evidence, the authors put forward a fresh perspective on human capital strategy. They also propose a fascinating, game-theoretic approach to solve the ‘Principal-Agent’ conflict in the context of human capital renewal, dramatically advancing the field of strategic human capital with respect to both academic knowledge and managerial applications.

Innovative and cutting-edge, this book offers crucial insights for scholars investigating strategic management and strategic human capital, as well as researchers interested in entrepreneurship and human resource management. It will also benefit managers and practitioners, providing guidance in developing and implementing strategic human capital visions.
Critical Acclaim
‘This thoughtful text by Lanza and Simone considers one of the most important topics in management research today – how and when human capital is strategic, and its implications for firm performance. Not only does it offer a glimpse into the state of our current understanding of these issues, but it explores fresh and creative empirical analyses in an interesting context.’
– Timothy Folta, University of Connecticut, US
