Author Description

As organizations take a more strategic approach to managing people, human resource managers need a resource that focuses on this approach. This second edition does just that. It integrates unique new features and revises the content to make concepts easier to understand and apply. Increased coverage of diversity and globalisation is included. Additional discussions reflect the current economic and business environment and how that is impacting a company's HR strategies and practices. The Technology boxes in each chapter now take on a new twist and highlight some of the most current trends like social networking. Human resource managers will be able to use these concepts as they find out how to deal with the changing business environment.
