Description
This newest edition offers lecturers and students the strongest product in the market. De Cieri and Kramar emphasise the importance of strategic human resource management (HRM), and the links between strategy, people and performance. Students thereby understand the relationship between HRM practices, a company's business objectives and the use of HRM as a means to create value and competitive advantage.
Readers are kept informed of the most current issues affecting HRM. New and extensive case studies at the end of each chapter make this another engaging edition. As exciting are the all Australian video cases that instructors may use in the classroom - a first for a HRM book in this country.
Expertise
Both authors are well-regarded and well-respected HRM theorists in Australia. They are widely known for their strategic vision. In addition, this edition now includes contributory authors who are well-recognised in their areas of specialty, thereby giving this book even greater credibility.
