About this title

About the Author

Christopher Mabey is a senior lecturer and Head of the centre for Human Resources and Change Management at the Open Business School. A Chartered Occupational Psychologist, he researches, writes and consults widely on individual and organizational development.

Graeme Salaman is Reader in Sociology in the Social Science faculty of the Open University. He has published extensively over many years in the sociology of work and organizations, and in human resource strategies.

John Storey is Senior Lecturer in Human Resource Management at Loughborough University Business School. He is the author of three previous books including the highly successful New Perspectives on Human Resource Management.

This volume engages with the essential themes and emergent ideas in strategic human resource management. There is increasing self-confidence about the potential benefit of intangible assets, notably human resources, contributing to the success of organizations. This revised text examines such claims in considerable depth and draws conclusions about the role of strategic HRM at the dawn of the new millennium.

A distinctive strength of this volume is that it is a Set Book for one of the largest MBA programmes in Europe. It is a benchmark text for all advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level students of HRM, personnel management and change management.
