Reviews / Votes
'This book provides a timely examination of the notion of strategic HRM. It reminds us that changes in the nature of the economy, organizations, and business models mean that we must fundamentally re-examine our ideas about HRM and how it adds value. Drawing on a number of leading experts, it gives us voice to a range of competing perspectives on this question.' -- Paul Sparrow 'This textbook includes chapters written by leading names in the field and lots of user-friendly short case studies from around the world.' -- Chris BrewsterMore details
