Preface
The world business is becoming more and more complicated as technology is in its age of development and changing at a rapid pace. It seems that technology is reducing the role of people. However, this could be true in the production era only. Today, there are a lot more of new types of business where human play an important role along with that of machines and technology. Furthermore, there is a change in the conception and perception of the management of human resource (HR). As the name suggested, human now is the resource of a company, the key to its success, not the cost to a business as we used to perceive. Human is the asset that a company must seek for, maintain, and develop.

In conclusion, human resource plays a strategic role in the sustainable development of companies.
