The information age has changed many of the “classical” business activities by altering the core values and management principles. Human resources management has also changed and has adapted to the new challenges of the 21st -century information age. The hunt for knowledge and for the determined business value is driven by more complex and far-reaching human resources activities. Companies must change their “classic” view on human resources to prevail and to be successful in the new complex and speed century. Human resources have changed its old working principles to fit the requirements of constant data, information, and knowledge “hunting” and morphed to a proactive and dynamic business value driver. The main objective of the paper is to show and document that human resources management is 21st -century business value and knowledge driver that business organizations must use in their quest for the ultimate competitive advantage.
