Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Aspiring student of HRM? Or forward-thinking manager? Contemporary Human Resource Management is in your hands.

 

Written in a clear yet thought-provoking style, this text provides a thorough and critical exploration of the key functions, practices and issues in HRM today. Each chapter is written by an expert in that field, ensuring the book consistently offers incisive and engaging accounts of the theoretical and practical realities of contemporary HRM.

 

Fundamental HRM practices are covered clearly in the first part of the book, before the second half examines issues of more recent and emerging significance. At least two case studies, exercises or activities in each chapter enable and encourage readers to identify, examine and apply key concepts in a practical context.

 

The book does not just report but also leads the debates across this ever-changing discipline.

 

"A very successful textbook: the range of contributors means that there is depth in each topic, yet the writing style is consistently accessible. It offers good bibliographies, case studies and box examples of human resource management in practice. The longer cases are particularly helpful in developing skills." - Dr Barras Stone, Bournemouth University

 

"I can recommend this text for use on Human Resource Management modules without any reservation; its theoretical coverage is appropriate, the guidance to reading and research is unsurpassed and the case studies are suitably informative." - Dr Paul Cunningham, City College Norwich
