  This text is aimed at MBA students and Masters students on general business or management programmes, who are or will become general managers, and especially those with some direct responsibility for HRM policies and practices. The purpose of the text is to give the managers of tomorrow a basic grounding in HR theory and practices. The text will place HR in a managerial context and will cover the key areas that a line manager needs to know without placing too much emphasis on historical development.The text will therefore seek to offer a real-world perspective on people management by adopting a managerial, positivist approach and by avoiding overly academic content. Iain Henderson joined Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University in June 2004 as a Senior Teaching Fellow. His principal responsibilities are to support the teaching and development of the MBA and DBA (Doctor in Business Administration) programmes and, specifically, modules in Organisational Behaviour, Strategic Planning, and Research Methods.
