Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This textbook is tailored for students beginning their journey in human resource management, merging academic insights with practical applications for a comprehensive introduction. It addresses how HR is practiced in real workplaces, moving beyond the idealistic views often found in other texts. By adopting a holistic perspective, it integrates HR processes and challenges into the broader context of business operations rather than treating HRM as a standalone function. The structure includes four main sections: The Foundations of HRM (Chapters 1-2), Operational Challenges (Chapters 3-8), Key HR Processes (Chapters 9-12), and concludes with three case study chapters (Chapters 12-15) that apply earlier concepts like planning, recruitment, selection, redundancy, learning, and training. Each chapter encourages critical thinking, featuring numerous real-life examples and case studies that help students connect theory to practice. Additionally, the textbook includes various boxed learning features and a clear writing style to enhance understanding and engagement. An Online Resource Centre provides supplementary materials, including a test bank, PowerPoint slides, seminar activities, case study answers, discussion questions, and additional case study material, ensuring a rich learning experience.
