624 pages. Ex-libraryHuman Resources are the most important resource that a firm commands and shou ld be regarded as capital, a factor of production in which managers invest today in order to realize future profits. This book deals with the strategic implicat ions of Human Resource Management as an important strategic asset and emphasizes its importance within the overall strategy of the firm. The book covers issues such as job design, evaluation, recruitment, training, career concern, and outso urcing and downsizing. The linkage between the various pieces of HRM policy are stressed and how the policies are related to management issues such as TQM, just -in-time manufacturing, and others. The book is aimed at the general manager, no t the HRM practitioner and it stresses conceptual frameworks, not procedural met hodology.

This important new text was born out of Stanford's required HRM course for MBAs and further developed in Executive Education programs at Stanford and abroad. Chapters have already been tested by instructors at a number of other institutions, including Dartmouth's Tuck School, MIT's Sloan School, INSEAD, University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business, the Weatherhead School at Case Western Reserve, and North Carolina State.
Written by a sociologist and an economist, this book is truly integrative. It shows how economic, sociological, and psychological approaches to HRM complement one another, while staying firmly on the ground in terms of current practice and real-life examples.

He has received numerous professional awards and honors, including a fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and elected membership in the Sociological Research Association and Macro Organizational Behavior Society. He has served as an advisor on human resource issues to corporations, law firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
