Irena Grugulis

A Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book About Human Resource Management

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Engaging and entertaining in equal measure, Human Resource Management is a book about work, the people who do it and the way they are managed (and mismanaged). Raising issues that are often neglected in typical HRM texts, such as work intensification and unemployment; it explores the realities of work, workers, and the communities that are affected by HRM policy and practice. Grugulis draws on current research to provide a critical and reflective overview of the key debates in HRM today.

Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to conventional textbooks, each book in the Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap series takes a core area of the curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an informal, conversational and often humorous way.

Suitable for students of HRM, professionals working in organizations and anyone with an interest in the nature of human resources.

Rezensionen

This is a grounded, critical and well thought through introduction to the subject. It is conscious of major debates yet able to explain them in a subtle and meaningful way. The book presents the reader with the tensions and realities of HRM, inviting them to realise the ways in which management is structured in relation to workers. Miguel Martinez Lucio 20160819
