Alan Nankervis et al 2011, in his book " Human Resource Management: Strategy and Practice" states that regardless of the particular resource emphasis in an industry, the human resource is almost always the key ingredient for organizational success. People design, operate and repair the technology, people control the financial resources, and people manage other people in all organizations. Compared with technological or financial resources, human resources are the most unpredictable and often the largest ongoing cost factor in any organization, and they may also be regarded as its most valuable assets. It is therefore crucial that they are managed effectively, equitably and ethically, and that their personal and work needs are satisfied, if organizational objectives are to be achieved. A number of developments have begun to transform the nature of jobs and the workplaces in which they are performed. These developments include the influences of globalization and technological development, significant changes in demographic and workforce features, as well as political, economic and social changes associated with significant amendments to industrial relations systems and processes. On the positive side, globalization has broadened the markets for Gulf and regional businesses, reshaped labour markets and, with the aid of enhanced information technology and telecommunications systems, begun to fashion new kinds of jobs, new forms of workplaces and, increasingly, more innovative approaches to all human resource management (HRM) processes. Less positively, the economic interconnectedness of countries (possibly the major hallmark of globalization), coupled with the unethical behaviour of some senior managers (primarily) in the finance industry, have arguably contributed significantly to the recent worldwide financial crisis that resulted in the demise of many businesses; more active intervention of governments in company ‘bail outs’ and the re-regulation of industries; and associated changes in HRM strategies, including mass retrenchments and major revisions to staffing, performance management, executive pay systems, human resource development, rewards and career development programs.
Regarding Gulf region, Dubai for instances Traditionally an oil-fuelled economy, Dubai has grown a significantly diversified economic base to the extent that, by 2007, oil represented only three percent (3%) of gross domestic product (GDP), down from 10 per cent in 2000 and 46 per cent in 1976. Since 2000, real GDP has outgrown neighbouring emirates with a compounded, annual growth rate of 13 per cent (Dubai Strategic Plan 2015, p. 16). The high activity services sector – encompassing trade, construction, transport, trade and communications – has been a key driver of economic growth, representing 75 per cent of GDP in 2005. The Dubai Strategic Plan 2015 seeks to develop a knowledge-driven economy that is well-positioned to share prosperity with its population of ‘nationals’ (indigenous people) and foreign workers. Workforce expansion is anticipated in response to planned economic growth, with the labour market expected to grow by an additional 848000 in 2005 to 1.73 million by 2015, largely through the growth in number of foreign workers. Central to the strategic plan is the role that government departments play in improving the business and investment environment, thereby placing the spotlight on the performance of Dubai’s public sector. Department leaders are responsible for developing operational plans and programs that focus on efficient and effective services that stimulate the strategic vision and growth strategy. Underpinning human resource management practices in government circles is the Dubai Government Human Resources Management Law No. (27) 2006, which applies to all civilian employees of the Dubai government, whether they are nationals or expatriates. The law covers 15 areas including code of conduct; work training and development; leave; business and training travel; employment relations; health, safety and environment; disciplinary actions; grievance and complaints; termination of service; and government human resources. Organizational units in each department have the responsibility to comprehend the HR policies, and apply them fairly and consistently among employees in order to create a performance-driven and progressive culture. Central to implementing department plans is a workforce that is dynamic, motivated and responsive to achieving the strategic vision for Dubai. A productivity improvement of 4 per cent per annum is part of the vision, and optimizing Dubai’s human capital will be crucial, placing HR professionals at the forefront of change. Specific goals identified in the plan include enhancing people-management skills, targeting the HR specialist, attracting talent and building capability through international standards of HR best practice. Commencing in 2007, the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) has been contracted to facilitate the training of senior Dubai Government HR directors and officers, while at the same time operating a ‘train the trainer’ program aimed at building their local skills base under the continued auspices and quality assurance of AHRI.

The history of Human Resources Management did not begin at the moment when Dave Ulrich published his first book about Human Resources. He discovered the importance of Human Resources Management for successful organizations but the people management was crucial even in ancient China. The HR history is about the evolution of first communes and growth of first ancient societies.
