Introducing Human Resource Management
6th edition
Margaret Foot & Caroline Hook

Introducing Human Resource Management is a lively and engaging introduction to the key topics and issues surrounding people management. Clearly linking HR theory to the work environment, this book explores core areas such as HR strategy, talent management, employee engagement and development.

This new edition has been fully revised to include:

  • the latest developments in equality legislation
  • greater coverage of the increasingly important concept of well-being and the impact this has on performance
  • more emphasis on the crucial role that line managers play in people management
  • more international and cross-cultural examples throughout.

This text will help you succeed in your studies through:

  • ‘Did you know’ and ‘Pause for thought’ boxes to get you thinking
  • ‘What next’ features to encourage you to find out more about a topic
  • ‘HR in the news’ features containing articles from the Financial Times to promote discussion of real-life examples of HR in practice.
  • Review and self-check questions (with answers) to help you check your understanding of a topic

Introducing Human Resource Management is ideal for a first course in human resource management at undergraduate or professional level, including courses that lead to a CIPD qualification.

University Text 13 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I use this book all the time as it is my core set text book on my Human Resource Management degree. I find the book to be very informative and all the case studies and activities are based upon the many years experience of both writers who are HR specialists and lecture at the University of Huddersfield.

With recap questions/excercies throughout and extensive links to further information; books or web sites at the end of each chapter this book is ideal for anyone studying HRM.

ok, but a bit brief 8 Dec 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
this book is a university module text, however for a human resource module i did not find it inspiring nor informative. it reads the basic aspects of human resource but lacks in depth on subject areas.

overall, ok if you just need to know the hrm basics

Format:Paperback
This was my core text for a HRM module but it was almost no help for the coursework having less than half a page for the topic deemed as "one of the most important HRM tools of the century" by the lecture. It was also no help for the end of module exam with the online activities included being accessible by a weblink meaning having the book only told you the address and was not needed to gain access.

Also the textbook was either missing or vague in at least half of the areas our "An introduction to Human Resource Management" course covered so I would highly dis-recommend this textbook for even the most basic of HRM classes.
