Strategic human resource management: a guide to action, 3rd ed.

Abstract

This third edition of Strategic Human Resource Management has been substantially revised to incorporate the latest research and thinking. A number of chapters such as those concerned with strategic HRM in general in Parts 1 and 2 have been almost completely rewritten, as has Chapter 12 on reward strategies. A new chapter on enhancing organizational effectiveness has been included and revisions made to all the other chapters. The book is set out under the following headings: • Part 1: The framework of strategic human resource management. This provides an introduction to HRM, the general concept of strategy and the process of strategic HRM. • Part 2: Strategic human resource management in action. This describes the formulation and implementation of HRM strategies, the impact of strategic human resource management, the strategic contribution of the HR function, and roles in strategic HRM. • Part 3: HR strategies. This covers each of the main areas in which HR strategies are developed, namely: enhancing organizational effectiveness, resourcing, learning and development, managing performance, reward and employee relations.
