·        Why are skills and knowledge so crucial to an organisation’s competitive advantage?

The text covers the most pressing and topical themes and debates of today – HR strategy, gender and diversity, and employee rights, involvement and participation – whilst covering in depth the theory and practice of the operational aspects of HRM.
