Product Description

Product Description

This accessible, student friendly text has been written for students taking an HRM or Personnel Management option on a Business Degree, or studying for an HND, Foundation Degree or CIPD qualification. 

Covering all the core HRM topics, it uses a broad range of features and activities to enhance students’ learning experience, explaining the ideas and theories with real life examples.



From the Back Cover

"An excellent introduction to the subject - I have not found a comparable

text at this level."

Ron Fisher, Manchester Metropolitan University

 

"Up to date and pitched at exactly the right level ... clear, interesting, well structured and easy to follow."

Norma D'Annunzio-Green, Napier University

 

 

Introducing Human Resource Management presents all the core HRM topics in a clear and lively style, exploring the latest developments in areas such as employment law and strategic HR as well as current applications of HR practice in the workplace.

 

Including a wide range of activities, exercises, case studies and real life examples, this book really involves the reader, helping you gain a good understanding of the theory and of how it applies in practice.

 

This edition includes:

  • A thorough update on equality legislation,
  • A new ‘What next?’ feature to point you in the right direction if you want to deepen your knowledge of a topic,
  • ‘Did you know’ and ‘Pause for thought’ boxes to get you thinking,
  • Review and self-check questions (with answers) to test your understanding,
  • A wealth of extra activities, quizzes and multiple choice tests online to help you to check your knowledge and revise

 

This book is ideal for a first course in human resource or personnel management at undergraduate or professional level, including courses that lead to a CIPD qualification. 

 

Margaret Foot and Caroline Hook have extensive work experience in the field of HRM. They are both Senior Lecturers in Human Resource Management at Huddersfield University Business School and are founding members of the CIPD Huddersfield Geographical Group.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok, but a bit brief, 9 Dec 2002
By A Customer
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

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, 17 April 2007
By Mark "Mrk" (London U.K.) - See all my reviews
Ive been reading this book in the past few weeks. It seems that the authors did not know how they were going to fill the pages of this book and you find repititive stuff. A clear example is the issue of Equal opportunities and Descrimination in Chapters 3 and 4 where the authors take an Extremist Approach as regards to this issue. I am NOT againt equal opportunites or anti-descrimination policies, mind you, but the authors keep on reminding us that we have to take these issues into consideration every couple of paragraphs that you feel like that you are being brainwashed about the issues.

I hope some improvements are done in future issues as I am not usually satisfied with books who repeat the same things over and over again as if they were inspired by some holy inspiration.
