Publisher's Synopsis
The Practice of Human Resource Strategy explores two areas. The first concerns practical examples of how companies and public sector organisations have achieved business objectives through human resource strategies. This has been achieved by analysing research from different countries including USA, Germany, Japan, France and Sweden. The second deals with the question of the value of theory and its relation to practice and deals with the key strategic issues facing practitioners.
The book consists of an introduction to the theoretical issues which sets the context for the series of practical examples which follow. Practitioners present case studies taking the debate a stage further seeking to bring out the relationship between theory and practice. Many of these cases are European and international recognising the global nature of business today.
