From the Back Cover
People are vital to the success of all organisations. For many it is the unique mixture of the knowledge, skills and experience of their employees that gives them a competitive edge. It is therefore not surprising that effective management of the human resource is increasingly being seen as a vital activity at all organisational levels.
Introducing Human Resource Management, second edition offers concise and student friendly coverage of the central ideas of this important subject. Using a broad range of activities and questions it encourages readers to regularly test their understanding and apply theories to practical situations.
Key Features-
· Emphasis on strategic aspects of HRM enhanced from the first edition
· Fully up to date with respect to legislation, both in the UK and Europe
· A new chapter highlighting the challenges for HRM in the future
· Learning objectives for each chapter highlight the most important issues
· Activities and Review Questions provide readers with regular opportunities to put theory into practice
· Provoking ‘Pause for Thought’ questions help lead the reader through discussions
· ‘Did You Know?’ boxes provide memorable nuggets of information
Introducing Human Resource Management, second edition is suitable for all students taking a first course in Personnel or HRM, either as part of a business degree or as a module on other degree programmes. It can be used on undergraduate, BTEC HND/C or post-experience courses. It is also applicable for professional courses such as those offered by the Institute of Personnel and Development. The interactive style and extensive provision of activities and questions makes it ideal for distance learning courses.
Margaret Foot and Caroline Hook have extensive work experience in the field of HRM. They are both Senior Lecturers in Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour at Huddersfield University Business School and founding members of the IPD Huddersfield Geographical Group.
"This book will immediately appeal to students, not only because it is affordable, but also because it is readable and manageable. The most refreshing parts of the text are the student involvement sections... All of these... are invaluable in reinforcing the students’ learning and provide the lecturer with a wealth of material for participative workshops."
Richard Pullen, Middlesex University Business School
