Product Description
Review
'This is a very wise book. I have long been a fan of previous editions, which have a well annotated place on my shelf. It is crammed with practical tips and insights, all based on a thorough overview of the evidence. It will challenge its readers to think, but above all to become better managers. This book never shirks the difficult challenge of how to turn its key ideas into practice. It is that rare textbook which repays careful reading. I can't recommend it highly enough.' - Dennis Tourish, Professor of Leadership, Kent Business School, UK
'This third edition is a classic work integrating HRM and strategic management, explaining the latest theoretical and practical developments in this fascinating area. Superbly written and referenced in a style that is relevant to both HRM academic and practitioner communities, and bridges the gap between theory and practice. It also integrates both HRM and employment relations in a critical but constructive way. This book is an absolute must for any serious student of HRM and HRM practitioner alike.' - Paul Toulson, Associate Professor of Human Resource Management, Massey University, NZ
'Linking Human Resources and strategy usually entails HR reaching out to try to grasp strategy concepts to justify that the function is aligned with strategy. Boxall and Purcell's Strategy and Human Resources bucks this trend to begin with an examination of strategy and then explore how HR can support it. This perspective can much better drive strategic thinking in HR and has much greater potential to increase the value of HR in the minds of strategic decision makers. This is the way HR should be taught.' -Patrick Wright, Professor of Strategic Human Resources, Cornell University, USA
'At its core, the field of strategic human resource management is concerned with integrating HR policies and practices with a firm's competitive strategy to enable firm success. Perhaps more than any other textbook, Professors Boxall and Purcell's Strategy and Human Resource Management offers a comprehensive and thorough treatment of the myriad issues and topics associated with strategic HRM. These leading scholars bring their experience and expertise to bear in synthesizing research and practice to provide students, academics and practitioners an evidence-based treatment of the premise and promise of integrating organizational strategy with human resource management.' - James P. Guthrie, William and Judy Docking Professor, School of Business, University of Kansas, USA

Format:Paperback
John Purcell is highly regarded in his field, is the editor of HRM journal, and he uses this text as the core text for his teachings on the Bath MBA course. The text is not always easily read, but this is probably as much to do with his attempts to distill concepts succinctly rather than treat the reader as a undergraduate or a first time student. In content the book covers all aspects of Strategic HRM,and is probably best used as a quality update for line-managers through to CEOs on where HRM is going, rather than a handbook for HR practitioners. They would probably prefer a more detailed and painstaking analysis of the new world of HRM.

I am currently studying a Masters in HRM. Strategy threads through most of the modules and this book breaks it down well. The language is pitched at the right level for the lay person.
I would recommend this text as a good form of reference.

MIGHTY !!!
23 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
After reading that book,I said wow.Strong,clear and open minded!Everybody speaking about strategic HRM but neither one able to explain what it is.Well Boxall in my opinione found the right approach to the problem,exiting from the best practices' jungle.A whole book full of strategic insights about HRM,dealing with the main aspects of emploiment relationships.People from one side, the organization on the other an the HR function trying to find out the way to keep them togheter toward the strategic objectives:that's the main theme of the book that passing through a lot of interesting problems opens a lot of door and questions on the field of HR,but really never closing any solution or excluding you to reflect about the matter. I should define it exciting.
Really good value.
Really good value.
Honours programme text
20 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This new edition of the classic Bloxall text does not disappoint. I'll be using it for my class of Honours (4th year) students and expect it to provide a basis for lively disucssion. It's not the most entertaining book to read, but substance wins out over "bells-and-whistles" at this level of scholrship.
