A Comprehensive Guide To Theory And Practice
Third Edition
An increasing awareness of the significance of the management of people to competitiveness, alongside new practices and new paradigms such as "human resource management", demand a critical appraisal of both the theory and practice of personnel management. This new and updated edition provides a challenging analysis of recent thinking and developments. It offers path-breaking treatment of personnel management in the "lean organisation" and the "extended organisation", as well as the main issues in each of the key areas of planning and resourcing, performance management, training and development, involvement and participation and management-trade union "partnership" agreements.
