Covering the nature of HRM and its future, the book focuses on three main areas. First, reflecting the fact that there is increasing evidence for the link between thoughtful HR practices and effective organizational performance, strategy is a key theme of this new edition. Second, key practice areas such as resourcing, training, culture and reward management are then covered. Third, a wide consideration is given to the international aspects of HRM.
All existing material has been fully re-written for this new edition and there are additional chapters covering the place of ethics in HRM, the management of joint ventures and strategic alliances, and the important emergent perspective of 'knowledge management'.
Overall, this accessible text combines a wealth of insights from leading analysts in their respective fields to provide a balanced view of the dilemmas that exist in HRM today.
Designed to meet the needs of advanced management students on a variety of courses, the international team of expert contributors provides an in-depth, authoritative, critical and original account of contemporary HRM:
