Reviews

The PDF ebook does not just report but also leads the debates across this ever-changing discipline. “This is an excellent ebook that covers all major HRM areas. It also keeps in pace with recent advances and current discussion of HRM by exploring more contemporary topics such as knowledge management, workplace bullying, flexibility or emotion at work.” Kristina Potocnik, Lecturer in Human Resource Management and Director, MSc Human Resource Management, University of Edinburgh

“Skilfully integrates academic content and case study applications across a range of relevant contemporary HR debates” Paula McDonald, Professor of Work and Organisation, Queensland University of Technology.

Professor Tom Redman was Professor of Human Resource Management at the University of Durham Business School and was a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. Professor Redman sadly passed away suddenly during the production stages of this edition of the ebook. He will be sadly missed and his work and influence on the field of HRM continues.
