Introducing Human Resource Management

Аннотация

Managing people is a vital part of all managers’ jobs whether they are line managers or human resource (HR) specialists, and successful management and leadership make a huge difference both to the performance of teams and individuals and to the achievement of the organisation’s strategic objectives. Increasingly HR takes a lead in informing and driving the strategic direction of the organisation itself and frequently this is in an international context. This book emphasises both the role of HR in forming and achieving the organisation’s strategic objectives and the increasingly globalised context in which this happens. Technology is also changing the way in which HR managers operate and this book will discuss this and its effects on different aspects of human resource management (HRM).
