Strategic
Human Resource Management
What makes a good HR strategy and how does one develop it? These are just two of the
fundamental issues tackled by Strategic Human
Resource Management, an innovative new text ideal for undergraduate and graduate
courses in Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM). Drawing from the latest academic
research and industry insights, authors Catherine Truss, David Mankin, and Clare Kelliher
provide students with a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of managing people
strategically.
Written in an exceptionally clear style, Strategic Human Resource Management adopts a
user-friendly structure composed of four key parts. Part One looks at the concept of SHRM
and the relevance of environmental factors; Part Two examines theories and the link
between performance, the role of the HR department, and HR strategy; Part Three considers
the overarching themes within SHRM, including employee engagement, corporate social
responsibility, change management, knowledge management, and talent management; and Part
Four identifies new forms of SHRM and key future trends in the field.
Packed with original case studies and useful
pedagogical features--including end-of-chapter review questions, key concepts, and
critical reflection boxes--this unique textbook offers an engaging and insightful approach
to all areas of Strategic Human Resource Management. A Companion Website offers resources
for both instructors and students.
