Human Resource Management in Organisations identifies and discusses key developments within a variety of organisations including the public sector, privatised utilities, Small Medium Enterprises and the not-for-profit sectors, and looks at Human Resource Management within an organisational context.
With the use of practical, real life case studies, this text provides students with a sound understanding of the theoretical approaches to the management of people together with an appreciation of their application within different organisational contexts.
Designed to cater for students studying a Human Resource Management module on undergraduate programmes, or postgraduate programmes as part of an HRM or business degree programme, it is also suitable for students taking the CIPD Managing and Leading People module.
