plays a very important role in shaping present day society and its impacts are notably
remarkable particularly in new age working environment & culture. In addition, it will only

decision making going beyond it’s traditional role.

importance of knowledge and human capital make extra suppression on HR
functions and new competencies for HR professionals are expected.
