Essentials of Human Resource Management
Essentials of HRM combines a commentary on organizational behaviour with an explanation of human resource management techniques, and also acts as an introduction to industrial relations. It will prove an invaluable aid to those studying for professional qualifications, such as Membership of the Institute of Personnel Management or the Diploma in Management Studies, and for students on general business or social service courses. Equally, the practising manager will find this book a useful and practical guide.
Managing People in a Contemporary Context
The worldwide financial crash and the ensuing recession have coincided with other significant long term changes for the Western Economies of Europe and the USA, especially the growing strength of newly developed economies, demographic and technological change, institutional crises and political uncertainty. The interconnected nature of businesses and societies mean the competitive landscape is being transformed, and new economic pressures and opportunities are producing new business models, a rebalancing of economies, and a new HRM. The application of new technology to the processes and systems of people management is spreading, in a world where competitive advantage is increasingly about how smart the management processes are, and how well people are managed. This text is the first book to analyse the way these contextual pressures are producing a game change in the human resource function of management. For anyone who has an HR role or is a line manager, or a student of management, and for those who teach, research or consult in the field, this book encapsulates these critically important trends and what they mean for managing people in the 21st Century.
Working in Organisations
This second edition highlights the key and critical issues facing managers in today's organisations and identifies the transactional, more operational, demands, issues, skills and competencies that managers need to consider.
Human Resource Strategy
This new text successfully demonstrates the links between human resource management and business strategy. It begins with an analysis of the literature on HRM and strategy and goes on to discuss how new models of HRM are created. The book seeks to explain the `fit' between HR strategy and business strategy by describing how different models of HRM are developed to sustain and advance business objectives. A description is given of each of the main contributions through which HRM can add value, together with examples from companies of all sizes and in many different industries. The book ends with a proposed theory of HRM based on the Frameworks it has described.
The Essence of Organizational Behaviour
Topics covered include: differences between people at work; the effect of personality on performance; employee motivation; the creation of effective work groups; the attributes of successful leaders; the management of change; and the effect of culture and international markets on organizations.
The Story Grid
WHAT IS THE STORY GRID? The Story Grid is a tool developed by editor Shawn Coyne to analyze stories and provide helpful editorial comments. It's like a CT Scan that takes a photo of the global story and tells the editor or writer what is working, what is not, and what must be done to make what works better and fix what's not. The Story Grid breaks down the component parts of stories to identify the problems. And finding the problems in a story is almost as difficult as the writing of the story itself (maybe even more difficult). The Story Grid is a tool with many applications: 1. It will tell a writer if a Story ?works? or ?doesn't work. 2. It pinpoints story problems but does not emotionally abuse the writer, revealing exactly where a Story (not the person creating the Story'the Story) has failed. 3. It will tell the writer the specific work necessary to fix that Story's problems. 4. It is a tool to re-envision and resuscitate a seemingly irredeemable pile of paper stuck in an attic drawer. 5. It is a tool that can inspire an original creation.
Managing Human Resources
This is the third edition of a book which has gained wide acceptance in universities and colleges for use on advanced courses in human resource management. Written by a team of recognized experts in thier field, it combines a high academic standard with an applied approach to the challenges facing managers today, which will appeal to both line mangers and human resource managers.
The Employment Relationship
The Employment Relationship presents a controversial perspective on an area hitherto dominated by industrial relation experts and radical sociological theorists. Exploring some of the metaphors commonly used to describe the employment relationship, Peter Herriot argues that it is often their dark rather than their bright side which best expresses how employees really feel. Human resources sometimes feel like human discards! The main culprits in this situation, he suggests, are the top managers who fail to treat employment as a relationship and employees as individuals. He concludes that management rhetoric must be replaced by real dialogue and points to three issues where this is most crucial: employee compliance, contractual inequalities and the need for organisational change. The Employment Relationship will make essential reading for all managers and occupational psychologists. It will also be of interest to students of work psychology, human resource management or organisational behaviour.
International Human Resource Management
An ideal foundation text for international human resource management, this text represents most of what is currently known or experienced within the field. This edition includes key terms, learning objectives, discussion questions and an end-of-book integrative case.
