Description
How is human resource management (HRM) strategic to a firm's viability and how might it help to lay a basis for sustained competitive advantage? How can managers pursue their goals for labour productivity and organisational flexibility in socially acceptable ways? This book explores such questions. The authors develop a conceptual framework to provide an exploration of the growing field of strategic HRM. This text should be of interest to MBA students and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of HRM. It should also be an valuable resource for anyone interested in the role of HRM in business success.
