The Role of Human Capital in the Implementation of Healthcare Innovation in the UAE. .Providing evidence of the role of human capital on innovation in the Middle East, this edited collection closely examines the unique nature of the workforce in this region. It highlights the challenges that the United Arab Emirates faces in becoming more globally competitive, with emphasis on its unique socio-cultural context and a rapidly changing institutional set up. Filling a growing need for research – particularly in the context of the UAE’s ambition to become one of the world’s most innovative countries – the authors address six main themes: happiness; employee incentives; the restructuring and integration of employees; inclusion and diversity; employer and nation branding; and human capital and innovation. This book examines the global best practices firms in the UAE need to adopt in order to overcome weaknesses, setting an agenda for future research in the context of human capital and human resource management for the UAE.Palgrave Studies in Global Human Capital Management,2662-1118Personnel managementInternational economic integrationGlobalizationTechnological innovationsHuman Resource ManagementEmerging Markets and GlobalizationInnovation and Technology ManagementPersonnel management.International economic integration.Globalization.Technological innovations.Human Resource Management.Emerging Markets and Globalization.Innovation and Technology Management.658.3650Pereira Vijayedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNeal Markedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTemouri Yamaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtQureshi Wardahedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910427043703321Human Capital in the Middle East2095522UNINA
