This text is designed to be both accessible and challenging providing a comprehensive introduction to Human Resource Management (HRM). Achieving a balance of theory and practice, the text critically evaluates late-1990's developments in the subject, such as strategic aspects of HRM, the challenge of the EU, the learning organization, the impact of technology, gender, and more, within a pedagogy of case studies and clear learning objectives.
