Written by the CIPD's chief examiner, this textbook is closely aligned to the CIPD standards and useful to anyone seeking a critical look at human resource management (HRM) theory and practice. It combines the latest academic research with practical approaches to managing HRM in the workplace.
This is a really interesting book. Its focus on the history of HR gives it a sociological slant which I really enjoyed. It may however have slightly detracted from the practical application and I found myself wondering what I would or could change as a result of reading it.
