David Buchanan,
Human Resource Management Journal
This major work is invaluable to anybody with an interest in human resource management; integrating theory, research and practice, this handbook provides an overview of the two main strands of HRM. The first focuses on the links with strategy and the role of HRM in furthering the competitive advantage of the firm. The second builds on human relations and stresses the importance of the individual well-being to the enhancement of company performance.
Comprehensive and global in scope and content, this one volume edition is fully-indexed and cross-referenced to provide the reader with a collection of original essays by renowned international experts, including Frank Heller, Yoko Sano, Randall S. Schuler, George Strauss and Rosalie Tung, amongst many others.
