A Global Guide to Human Resource Management is a concise HRM
introductory text offering a uniquely non-region-specific approach to
people management in international business organisations.
The book presents an alternative to standard managerial approaches,
reflecting the perspectives of multiple stakeholders (workers, trade
unions, states and governments, NGOs) to critically evaluate HRM in
practice and, in so doing, enables students to make effective decisions
in their own practice, wherever their careers take them. Its
accessibility and concision make it well suited to short courses for
non-HRM and non-business specialists. This text covers all major
introductory topics for non-specialists, introducing the concept and
purpose of HRM, through recruitment, people, skills, designing work,
promoting health, rewarding success, and successful and ethical people
management. This edition includes a new chapter on green HRM.
Rich with pedagogical features, the book includes five case studies per
chapter to connect theory with practice. It is also supported with a
range of instructor materials including online guest lectures, general
discussion questions, a glossary, an index, and online documentaries
that explain how to manage people. It is essential reading for students
interested in Human Resources and Personnel Management, Organisational
Behaviour and Development and Workplace Culture.
