The Strategic Managing of Human Resources

by Tony Watson (Author), Prof John Leopold (Author), Prof Lynette Harris (Author)

Synopsis

The Strategic Managing of Human Resources addresses the gap between the corporate strategy of a business and the way that HR specialists work with line managers to deliver and implement strategy. The authors define 'human resources' as the capabilites and potential that people bring to work organisations. They examine the process of negotiation, argument, conflict and resolution in all human resource exchanges within a range of management issues. Suitable for students of advanced undergraduate modules in HRM, masters programmes in HRM, CIPD specialist electives and MBA and DMS students.
