Developments in the Management of Human Resources: An Analytical Review

This unique book is based on thorough research which closely analyzes changes and developments in the management of human resources.
The author draws on over 300 in–depth interviews with managers at all levels – including many active "line" managers, which gives the survey a strong practical approach, rather than the conventional "personnel" picture.
Developments in the Management of Human Resources is particularly important as it:
Is the first proper analysis of the part played by line and general managers in human resource management
Uses real named cases throughout from both the private and public sectors
Considers corporate culture and strategy, and focuses on their impact in industrial relations and human resource management.
