Preview Human Resource Management: A Critical Approach
“This book delivers detailed and engaging contributions by leading authors. An important point of distinction for the book is the emphasis on critical analysis of topics that matter in HRM. I recommend it for advanced students and managers interested in HRM.” – Helen De Cieri , Professor of Management, Monash University, Australia “This revised edition provides a much-needed critical refl ection on HRM cov- ering the fi eld’s most up-to-date challenges. Questioning both content and context, we are provided with a deeper understanding of HRM than hitherto available to both professionals and scholars.” – Elaine Farndale , Associate Professor, The Pennsylvania State University, USA, and Tilburg University, The Netherlands “This wide-ranging critical text places human resource management appropri- ately in its broader social scientifi c and historical contexts. It makes a distinctive and accessible contribution to the fi eld and will appeal to many of those who seek a more refl ective and critical approach to the subject.” – Richard Croucher , P rofessor of Comparative Employment Relations, Middlesex University Business School, UK, and Adjunct Professor, Norwegian School of Economics, Norway Human Resource Management Despite over three decades of debate around the nature of human resource management (HRM), its intellectual boundaries and its application in practice, the fi eld continues to be dogged by a number of theoretical and practical limitations. Written by an international team of respected scholars, this updated textbook adopts a critical perspective to examine the core management function of HRM in all its complexity – including its darker sides. Human Resource Management: A Critical Approach opens with a critique of the very concept of HRM, tracing its development over time, and then systematically analyses the context of HRM, practice of HRM and international perspectives on HRM. New chapters commissioned for this second edition look at HRM and the issues of diversity, migration, global supply chains and economic crisis. This textbook is essential reading for advanced and inquisitive students of HRM, and for HRM professionals looking to deepen their understanding of the complexities of their fi eld. David G.
