All students of business and social science will find it both informative and intellectually engaging.' - Tony Dundon, School of Business and Economics, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland 'With a deep knowledge and understanding of employment relations, David Farnham has produced a book which is distinctive in terms of its scope and comprehensiveness.
