This unique book is based on thorough research which closely analyzes changes and developments in the management of human resources. The author draws on over 300 in-depth interviews with managers at all levels - including many active "line" managers, which gives the survey a strong practical approach, rather than the conventional "personnel" picture.
Developments in the Management of Human Resources is particularly important as it:

• Is the first proper analysis of the part played by line and general managers in human resource management
  
• Uses real named cases throughout from both the private and public sectors
  
• Considers corporate culture and strategy, and focuses on their impact in industrial relations and human resource management.
