This book recognises that HRM is practised as much by line managers as by HR professionals. While aimed at undergraduate students studying human resource management who will have little prior knowledge, it will also appeal to practitioners or post-experience students with knowledge of HR practices but a desire to integrate or consolidate their existing knowledge in a more critical forum.
