Opis

A key course text for advanced undergraduates and MBA students of human resource management. By using a thematic rather than a techniques-based structure, this book provides an opportunity to engage with current problems and issues by going beyond the normal emphasis on best practice and techniques and developing an awareness of the wider context.
Accompanied by a website at http: //www.palgrave.com/business/newell containing lecturer support materials, this text presents the key themes underpinning an understanding of human resource management through the use of detailed research-based case studies.
