The tenth edition of this successful textbook continues to offer a comprehensive review of human resource management concepts and techniques in a highly readable and understandable form.
The book essentially focuses on explaining the links between the HR activities, and the emergent employee behaviours, and the resulting company-wide strategic outcomes and performance. Starting with Chapter 4, each chapter opens with a new strategic issues vignette that briefly describes the strategic HR issue faced by the HR manager. It then explains how the managers use the tools and techniques to create an HR system that contributes in a measurable way to producing the employee behaviours required to achieve the company's strategic goals. This learning approach helps in developing a strong, valuable foundation in human resource management for success in real life as a manager.
