The author team is Professor Ian Beardwell, Head of the Department of Human Resource Management, Dr Len Holden, Principle Lecturer, Ian Clark, Dr Tim Claydon, Dr Audrey Collin, Trevor Colling, Mike Doyle, Linda Glover, Sue Marlow, Ian Roberts, Julie Storey and Mary Wright all of the Department of Human Resource Management at Leicester Business School, De Montfort University and Damian O'Doherty, formely of the same department and now a lecturer at UMIST.
Comments on the 2nd edition-
This book is deservedly established as one of the leading textbooks on the subject. The various contributors all provide clear and understandable expositions of their often complex topics, but without sacrificing academic rigour and standards. This characteristic is a boon to both teachers and students of HRM, and is probably the greatest of the book's many strengths. The book is an essential resource for the teaching and learning of HRM.
Prof Jim Stewart, Dept of Human Resource Management, Nottingham Business School
Human Resource Management clearly explains and critiques current theory and then illustrates it with relevant examples. This makes it useful for both undergratuate and postgraduate students.
Stephanie Tailby, Head of School of HRM, Bristol Business School

Store description
Shadow Books sells all manner of second-hand, out of print and rare books; but not popular paperback fiction. If we have a speciality, it is a broad academic one embracing the humanities fields of history, politics, classic literature, art history, media, history of ideas. We pride ourselves on setting our prices - quality for quality - at the low end of the range, on the scrupulous way we describe our books, on the rapidity with which we dispatch orders, and on our prompt and friendly response to customers and their queries.…
