University business schools are facing intense criticism that their traditional MBA and other graduate management curriculum fail to teach change management skills, employee development skills, employee recruiting skills, team-building skills, and the importance of ethical behaviour. Due to increasing technology, competition, and workforce diversity, today's leadership decisions are more complex than they were five years ago. The need for today's middle managers, senior managers, vice presidents, COOs, and CEOs to have more advanced leadership education has become critical, but the traditional Ph.D. and even the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) have not become a recognized and acceptable viable solution. In contrast to the traditional Ph.D. and DBA which is geared towards the engagement of theory and research, the advanced leadership knowledge involved in the Doctor of Management (DM) encompasses advanced leadership training that is practical and focused on leadership's complex impact on improving organizational culture and human resources development. While MBA programmes or the traditional business Ph.D. programmes are focused on finance, accounting, marketing, operations strategy, and quantitative research, DM goes a step further by also considering the importance of developing employees, organizational culture, and teams as a major aspect of strategy execution success. DM looks at management almost in an interdisciplinary way by blending leadership courses that touch on psychology, human resources management, communications, human relations, employee development, organizational behaviour, and traditional management science. While traditional business Ph.D. and DBA programmes focus on skill development in order to effectively manage organizational operations and organizational process, DM focuses on people because without a properly developed and appropriately constituted staff, success will only be limited. For many years, it was assumed that a doctorate degree was not applicable in the international business world. DM is a major departure of tradition by enabling executives to use a combination of pure leadership theory and applied research methods to define, implement, and evaluate the strategies necessary for organizational growth and survival in a 3-4 year programme without having to leave their full-time jobs. DM addresses the question: If the definition of management is getting work done through people, then why are traditional Ph.D. programmes so heavily focused on business and so little on employees and organizational development?

Human capital management in an organisation is one of the key areas of company success and its competitive advantage, particularly in a service company such as Raben (Zając, 2014). As an entity operating in the Transport Forwarding Logistics (TFL) sector, its decisions in the area of human resources management depend on industry factors. This is evidenced, among others, by the structure of employees. The aim of this case study is: first, to draw attention to the problems that companies operating in specific sectors may face. The second goal is to identify their ability to implement the concept of a company responsible to employees. The company strives to take the goals set by the United Nations (SDGs) into account. These include taking care of appropriate employment structure, ensuring employee development, ensuring diversity, caring for work-life balance as well as safety in the workplace, and building relations with external stakeholders. The specificity of the industry in which the presented company operates makes it pursue a number of Sustainable Development Goals—both with regard to employees and in terms of environmental protection. Some need to be adapted accordingly.

The human resources (HR) profession has had a rich history: that is, from the concept of labor unions in 1930 to the creation of selection tools in 1940 then to the reward systems in 1970 shifting to teamwork and then to partnerships in 1990. After the 1990s, like all other businesses, HR also influenced the Internet revolution. Classical human resources management (HRM) concerns the recruitment, selection, development, compensation, retention, evaluation, and promotion of personnel within an organization (Bernardin & Russel, 1993), which could be mostly transferred to the virtual world. Therefore, the HR profession faces an important challenge with new e-HRM and virtual actions encountered in the business world. This chapter examines the e-HRM phenomenon in the virtual world in detail and tries to bring new angles to e-HRM, and then manifests new definitions for the new reality while changes andinteractions take place in the virtual world.

This article presents the development of organizational culture in terms of a rapidly changing environment in a modern labor market. Old definitions had to bring new persuasion into the field in order to compete among modern organizations. We can witness those changes firstly by analyzing how the meaning of an organizational culture has been changed over the previous decades from a very narrow function to a wide and meaningful definition including soft skills and psychological aspects. The most common reason why it happened is economic and technological growth and changes in demand which come along with it. Organizations must adapt to those changes; otherwise, consequences can be crucial. Organizational culture nowadays includes more supporting disciplines, and one of them is Human Resources Management (HRM). Organizational culture and Human Resources Management have been merged as supporting disciplines approximately in the late nineties. The meaning of that phenomena got even stronger when American psychologists admitted its relevance and supported the idea that organizational culture consists not only of an external context. HRM’s components, such as employee’s engagement, the management of cultural differences among parties, creative leadership, the identification of a specific and individual needs, etc., became relevant in shaping organizational culture in a modern organization. The article presents components which belong to the side of organizational culture as well as to the side of HRM and the most important relations between two disciplines and common components which glued those disciplines together.

Organizations are concerned about how they can increase the motivation and engagement of their employees. Gamification arises in this context as an opportunity to address this issue. Thus, gamification has attracted greater attention from companies. The idea of using game elements to solve problems in their processes is starting to be seen as a solution. This study aims to analyse the gamification concept and its benefits and explain how it can be applied in human resources management. This mechanism can help companies to solve employee motivation and engagement problems in different areas of human resources. This chapter analysed eight studies in the areas of recruitment, training, team building, and administrative processes. So a SWOT analysis able to help understand the different models of gamification applied in human resources, its objectives, and its ability to create advantages for companies and their employees was constructed.
