Strategic Human Resource Management

Strategic human resource management has been taken up by academics, consultants and practitioners alike. However, the integration of human resource strategy with overall business strategy is often easier in theory than in practice. Strategic Human Resource Management provides a bridge between theory and practice and offers a guide to both formulating human resource strategies and implementing them. This new edition has been fully updated and revised to incorporate the latest thinking, research and practice in this important field, using case studies, checklists and practical examples. Human resource strategies are only as good as the effective action they produce. Formulating them is the easy part. The difficulties begin when they have to be implemented. This book is an invaluable aid in converting rhetoric into reality.
