This innovative text has been written by a team of experts in response to traditional texts which treat international, strategic, contemporary and employability issues as bolt-on components rather than as issues that are central to the study and practice of human resource management.

Report
'In a profession that is constantly evolving, this text makes an original contribution by examining the key components of HR in a clear and focussed manner. The authors achieve this by using a range of 'real' case studies and innovative 'conversations' with current HR practitioners. There are links to the CIPD and 'key skill' text boxes enabling the reader to locate their studies in a wider context. The chapter surrounding ethics in organisations is particularly relevant given the breakdown in trust in organisations. Overall the book is well written and easy to follow. I would recommend it to any student keen to develop their knowledge and understanding of HR practices.' Kevin Roe
