Synopsis: |
This volume gives comprehensive coverage of all the main areas of Human Resources Management and as such it should be suitable as a main course text. The second edition retains nearly all the existing contributors but there are several new chapters: "HRM and Ethics" by Woodall and Winstanley; "Knowledge Management" by Paul Quintas; "Organizational Learning, Culture and Change" by Graeme Salaman; and a chapter on recruitment entitled "Employee Resourcing" and authored by Paul Iles. In particular, debates about the nature and significance or HRM are examined; the link with corporate strategy is fully explored; and the interface with the personnel function, trade unions and industrial relations and management accountancy are examined in depth. All of the main practice areas including "Planning", "Recruitment", "Selection", "Assessment", "Training", "Reward Systems" and "Employee Involvement" are fully covered. In addition, international aspects are explained by experts in European HRM, American HRM and International Management. |
