Strategic Human Resource Management

by Jeffrey A. Mello

This text offers a truly innovative, integrative framework that examines the traditional functional HR areas from a strategic perspective. This text is organized into two sections. The first section, Chapters 1-7, examines the context of strategic HR and develops a framework and conceptual model for the practice of strategic HR. The second section, Chapters 8-14, examines the actual practice and implementation of strategic HR through a discussion of strategic issues that need to be addressed while developing specific programs and policies related to the traditional functional areas of HR (staffing, training, performance management, etc.). The integrative framework that requires linkage between, consistency among these functional HR activities, and the approach toward writing about these traditional functional areas from a strategic perspective distinguish the text from what is currently on the market.

[Jeffrey Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mello writes a great introduction to the concept of Strategic Human Resource Management and has tons of case study examples, which is what makes this book valuable.

Unfortunately, Mello's writing in each chapter is fairly short and journal articles comprise the bulk of each chapter. It would have been nicer to have read more of Mello's interpretation of each concept with only one journal article to support his topic. Reading the journal articles is what detracted from this volume. Since it is an older edition, I am sincerely hoping that this part has changed.

Overall, it was an okay textbook.
