What is strategic HRM, and how do you apply it in business? What makes
good HR strategy and how do you develop it? What are the key issues that
need to be considered when creating, developing, and embedding a
strategic approach to managing people? These are the fundamental
questions asked by
HR professionals and tackled in this innovative and comprehensive
textbook.
Drawing on the latest academic research, the well-respected author team
take a reliably thematic approach to SHRM. Broken into four distinct
parts, the book addresses the context, theories, themes, and future of
managing people strategically. Case studies and examples include Tata
Motors, Samsung,
Pizza Express, and Deliveroo, ensuring that theoretical discussion is
always linked to practical application. New "Strategic HRM in Action"
boxes take this one step further by presenting students with a scenario
in which they themselves can make strategic decisions and reflect on
their own
evaluation of real-life business practices.
Critical thinking is essential in SHRM, so frequent "Critical
Reflection" boxes, Review Questions, and questions accompany every case
study ensure students are challenged to engage with the subject
critically and reflectively. Global case studies and an opening chapter
dedicated to the global
context of SHRM challenge the dominant Western perspective and provide a
rounded and adaptable view of SHRM.
A user-friendly structure and wide range of learning features, including
learning objectives, key concept boxes, and summaries, ensure the text
remains accessible, even for those completely new to SHRM.
