"Organisations are made up of people and function through people. Without people organisations cannot exist. The resources of men, money materials and machinery are collected, coordinated and utilised through people. These resources by themselves cannot fulfill the objectives of an organisation. They need to be united into a team. It is through the combined efforts of people that material and monetary resources are effectively utilized for the attainment of common objectives. Without united human efforts, no organisation can achieve its goals. All the activities of an organisation are initiated and completed by the persons who make up the organisation. Therefore, people are the most significant resource of any organisation. This resources is called human resource and it is the most important factor of production." (jacket)
