Synopsis

The aim of this new text is to provide a concise introduction to HRM that will be relevant to business studies students taking only one compulsory course in the subject and who are likely to become general and line managers, rather than HR specialists.

To this end, the book places less emphasis on theoretical discussion of the subject and more specialist areas of HRM, concentrating rather on the core topics and the interrelationship between human resourcing specialists and line managers.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

 

Human Resources in Organisations is an exciting new text, providing a concise introduction to human resource management, that is particularly relevant to business studies students taking only one compulsory module in the subject and who are likely to become managers in a general sense, rather than human resource specialists.

The text concentrates on core HR issues for managers and the interrelationship between HR specialists and line managers. It draws upon relevant theoretical issues and relates these to HR strategy and practice.

 

The text offers excellent learning features, including activities and cases integrated throughout each chapter. The authors recognise that students may have limited work experience, so draw heavily on examples based on university life or part-time work.

Key features:

• Concise and accessible introduction to HRM aimed specifically at non-specialist students.
• Each chapter is introduced by key learning objectives, providing a pathway through the text.
• Mini cases and activities, interspersed throughout the text, are of varying length and taken from a range of organisational contexts, including manufacturing, public sector, SMEs and non-profit-making bodies.
• Longer end-of-chapter cases are ideal for either seminar group work or self-study.
• Discussion questions conclude most chapters, together with a guide for further reading.

 

 

 

A tutor s guide is available to lecturers, offering advice and suggestions for using the exercises, case studies and discussion questions in the classroom situation.

 

The author team:

 

Human Resources in Organisations is written by a highly skilled author team at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University and each author brings a wealth of teaching, research and practical experience to the book.
