Summary "Introduction to Human Resource Management presents the fundamental concepts and issues of this core business studies course. The book is primarily intended for undergraduate business students studying HRM, and for MBA students. Written in an accessible style, it is ideal for introductory courses and modular programmes." "The contents draw upon two traditions inherent within employment relations, one of which takes an individual, psychological focus, and another which starts from an industrial relations perspective. Pinnington and Edwards' account covers all the main elements of HRM and focuses on contemporary developments, setting them within the internal organizational and wider environmental contexts. The book fosters a good understanding of the management of human resources, and encourages critical thinking and practice." "Introduction to Human Resource Management may be used for individual and group learning. The student is provided with a wide range of discussion questions, source materials, and references for guided study and assignment work. The book contains study questions, further reading recommendations, and a dictionary of terms, as well as an index of authors, subjects, and companies. It also includes five major case studies, based on real organizations and experiences related by managers and human resource managers."--BOOK JACKET
