This revised edition is a comprehensive, authoritative set of
essays. It is more detailed and analytical than the mainstream
treatments of HRM.
As in previous editions, Managing Human Resources analyses HRM,
the study of work and employment, using an integrated
multi-disciplinary approach. The starting point is a recognition
that HRM practice and firm performance are influenced by a variety
of institutional arrangements that extend beyond the firm. The
consequences of HRM need to incorporate analysis of employees and
other stakeholders as well as the implications for organizational
performance.
