A comprehensive, authoritative and practical guide to the complete spectrum of Human Resource Management. This highly topical book deals with currently emerging changes in the role of the human resource department. Key issues are highlighted and trends in current thinking are explored. Clearly stated objectives, practical case studies and examination questions top and tail each chapter.

The book is useful for MBA students, final year business studies and management, and Higher National Diploma (HND) students. It will also be of great value to managers keen to come to grips with the most effective methods of managing people at work.

The book was developed at the University of Bradford Management Centre and forms part of the Bradford MBA course. Each of the contributors has experience not only of teaching in an academic context, but also of consultancy - working alongside managers and supporting them as they attempt to resolve 'real-life' problems.

Among the host of books currently available on HRM, this text has distinctive merits. First, it is written by people who know what they are talking about... Each chapter is written by an expert, who really is expert. Secondly, it deals comprehensively yet succinctly with the sprawling subject that is 1990s HRM... Finally, the language is accessible yet precise...the book is pleasant to read rather than the turgid prose that characterises so many management texts -- Derek Torrington, Emeritus Professor, Manchester School of Management
