What is Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) and how is it applied in businesses? What are the key prerequisites for a good HR strategy and how can it be developed? What are the fundamental challenges that need to be considered when creating and developing a strategic approach to human management? These are the fundamental questions posed by HR professionals and answered in this innovative and concise instructional manual.
Approaching Strategic Human Resource Management based on the latest academic research, the reliable team of authors analyzes the topics in four distinct parts: the context, the theories, the issues, and the future of strategic human management. Examples such as Tata Motors, Samsung, Pizza Express, and Deliveroo are included as case studies, linking theoretical discussion with practical application. The new "Strategic HRM in Action" sections go a step further, offering students scenarios for strategic decisions and self-reflective evaluation of real business practices.
Critical thinking is essential in SHRM; therefore, the frequent Reflection sections, Review Questions, and activities accompanying each case study promote active student engagement with the material and self-reflective thinking. The global case studies and the introductory chapter dedicated to the global context of SHRM promote a comprehensive and adaptive approach to Strategic Human Resource Management.
The user-friendly structure and variety of learning features, such as learning objectives, key concept boxes, and summaries, ensure that the text remains accessible, even to those entirely new to SHRM, allowing all students to benefit from the ideal balance between the latest academic theories and contemporary practice.
