Strategy and Human Resource Management, 5th Edition, explores how human resource management connects with organizational strategy and performance. Taking an analytical rather than prescriptive perspective, the textbook investigates what managers do and why they make specific decisions before addressing what they should do.
Coverage outlines core principles of strategic management alongside debates concerning best fit versus best practice. The volume also examines how strategic human resource management functions across manufacturing, services, multidivisional firms, and multinational enterprises.
Grounded in research, the text incorporates practical examples, cases, and vignettes to help students develop reasoning and analytical skills.
