Description
This text is aimed at MBA students and Masters students on general business and management programmes who are or will become general managers, and especially those who will have some direct responsibility for HRM policies and practices. The purpose of this text is to give the managers of tomorrow a basic grounding in HR theory and practices.
The text places HR in a managerial context and covers the key areas that a line manager needs to know without placing too much emphasis on historical development. The text therefore seeks to offer a real-world perspective on people management, and provides strong support in recognition of the limitations on time that MBA students have.
