Review:
Review from previous edition A great introductory text, ideal for newcomers to HRM. It covers all the main subject areas and is very practical. (David Williams, Programme leader, CIPD studies, The Business School, University of Greenwich)
This book is academic, but written in a very engaging way. It is readable - being written almost as a conversation with the reader. (Dr Louise Preget, Senior Lecturer, The Business School, Bournemouth University)
The case study chapters are very useful in Banfield and Kay - and this book seems to give the clearest links between academic and practical insight. (Denise Bagley, Programme Director and Principal HRM lecturer, London Southbank University)
Banfield & Kay adopts a realistic, applied approach to HRM, emphasising relevant theories, concepts and legislation. (Gitta Fletcher, HRM Pathway leader, Birmingham City University)
