Celebrating and advancing the scholarship of David P. Lepak (1971–2017): special issue introduction
这篇特刊引言回顾了David P. Lepak在人力资源管理领域的三大核心研究主题（人力资本战略管理、战略人力资源管理、多层次人力资源管理），并介绍了特刊中九篇相关文章，为学者提供未来研究方向。
This special issue is devoted to Professor David P. Lepak, who passed away on December 7, 2017. The special issue is meant to honor Professor Lepak’s (or affectionately called Dave among his close friends and peers) intellectual contribution to the field of human resource management (HRM) and his academic influence on many of us who study HRM-related topics. We first introduce the special issue by highlighting three research topics that were central to Dave’s work: (1) strategic management of human capital resources; (2) strategic HRM; and (3) multilevel HRM. We then introduce nine articles in the special issue and discuss how each of them contributes to one or more of the three topics of Dave’s interest. We also provide a general discussion of all the articles and offer directions for future research.
