Description
Focusing on human resource management as the responsibility of every manager, this edition integrates the following themes: HR and the responsive organisation; building employee commitment; global HRM; and small business applications. The aim of the author in revising this edition was to update the chapters and include changes, while ensuring that the switch by adopters from the 6th to the 7th edition would be virtually seamless. There are four major changes: Chapter 1 now contains an expanded discussion of the strategic role of HRM, one that builds considerably on the relatively light strategic coverage in the 6th edition; instead of a final appendix on international HRM, this is replaced by a complete chapter; the chapters on labour relations and collective bargaining have been consolidated into one; and the includion in most chapters of a "diversity counts" feature, each of which shows the practical aspects of applying that chapter's material to the issue of managing diversity at work.
