Description
The majority of textbooks on HRM tend to focus on the administrative side of the subject and fail to examine its strategic importance.
This book is intended to redress the balance and, taking strategy as its starting point, it looks at the overall role
of HRM in the
organization.
The author explores strategic human resource management through chapters on managing change in strategy, structure,
and culture; the role of human resource planning, and types of employment system. He also reviews some of the key issues in managing
different employee groups. These themes are problem- and issue- focused and extensively illustrated throughout with case study examples.
Dr Chris Hendry is the author of many reports, research papers and articles on HRM and strategic management.
Audience
2nd/final year undergraduates of business studies, MBA students & other postgraduates specialising in HRM; students and members of the IPM.
