Review
Dr David Collings, (Joint) Editor in Chief of Human Resource Management Journal and Senior Lecturer in International Management, J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics,
National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland
'This is an excellent introductory text that goes well beyond most conventional HR texts. Nick Wilton not only successfully outlines the rationale and operation of HRM but adopts a critical perspective on the study and practice of HRM by integrating state of the art academic research with contemporary ''real world'' challenges, debates and practical cases. This text is instructive, engaging and will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and potential for HR to contribute to both organizational performance and individual well-being' -
Dr Timothy Bartram, (Joint) Editor in Chief of the Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources and Associate Professor, School of Business,
La Trobe University, Australia
'This is an excellent textbook that combines research and practice in a very readable and interesting way! It does a great job of covering all the major topics in HRM and each chapter is filled with outstanding learning features' -
Randall S. Schuler, Distinguished Professor, HRM,
Rutgers University
Product Description
This exciting new introductory text in human resource management moves beyond a prescriptive approach to provide a holistic overview of the role of HRM in its contemporary context. Acknowledging and reflecting upon key trends in HRM, the labour market and the broader economy, the author offers critical discussion of the theoretical and practical issues surrounding HRM.
Includes accessible learning features to help you best explore the material, including:
- 'research', 'ethics' and 'international' insight boxes;
- chapter summaries and objectives;
- self-test questions;
- recommended reading;
- end of chapter case studies.
An accompanying companion website (www.sagepub.co.uk/wilton) provides you with full-text journal articles, extended case studies, weblinks and a glossary. The website also provides an instructor's manual, PowerPoint slides and a multiple-choice test bank for lecturers.
This book is essential reading for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students, as well as those studying for their CIPD qualifications.
Nick Wilton is Senior Lecturer in HRM at Bristol Business School at the University of the West of England.
"Well-researched, well-written, and is clearly signposted and structured for the reader. The learning objectives at the outset of every chapter act as a clear guide for each topic explored. Additional references and further reading are also offered to the student seeking deeper knowledge. Case studies, throughout the book, bring the HRM theories to life and demonstrably link these with practice. Wilton’s book is an extremely useful core text for students of HRM and a welcome addition to HRM resources" - Denise Bagley, Principal Lecturer in Human Resource Management, London South Bank University
