Human Resource Management In Organisations identifies and discusses HRM trends and developments within a variety of organisational contexts including public sector, privatised utilities, small and medium sized enterprises and the not-for-profit sector. In particular, it evaluates the links between HRM practice and organisational performance. 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. The text has been designed to cater for undergraduate students on HRM or business degree programmes, as well as postgraduate students studying HRM modules and students on CIPD professional programmes.
