Description
This edition of "Personnel Management in Britain" has now been thoroughly updated and revised. Like the first edition, the book aims to give students a critical examination of the field coupled with a comprehensive analysis of the most up-to-date theory. The contributors attempt to give each section provocative surveys of the key issues and a highly developed framework within which to understand present and future trends. The book should remain a useful text for all serious students in human resource management, personnel and industrial relations.
