  The aim of this new text is to provide a concise introduction to HRM that will be relevant to business studies students taking only one compulsory course in the subject and who are likely to become general and line managers, rather than HR specialists. To this end, the book places less emphasis on theoretical discussion of the subject and more specialist areas of HRM, concentrating rather on the core topics and the interrelationship between human resourcing specialists and line managers.

  A comprehensive introduction to Organisational Behaviour and Analysis with a distinctive psychological outlook. Avoiding a managerialist approach, the book places emphasis on Organisational Behaviour & Organisational Analysis as 'neutral' subjects concerned with understanding, rather than controlling, human behaviour in organisations. Aimed at students taking an introductory course in Organisational Behaviour on undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, or as part of a professional qualification. A wide range of cases and examples -- many taken from the Financial Times -- exercises and discussion questions encourage critical reflection on both theory and practice. A supporting website (www.pearsoned.co.uk/rollinson) provides a longer case study for each chapter, interactive questions for self-assessment, and suggestions for further reading and research.
