This title was first published in 2000: This book examines critically the theory and practice of Human Resource Management. It discusses some of the contemporary debates about the nature of Human Resource Management and attempts to offer conceptual clarity into this organizational phenomenon. The book effectively captures both the theoretical and practical issues in Human resource management - issues which are too often treated as separate.
