Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The contributors in this book identify and clearly discuss contemporary and critical issues, challenges and opportunities in HRM.The book attempts to achieve the delicate balance between basic HRM functions, and the new world of HRM. Moreover, in a dynamic fieldlike HRM, a complete look at contemporary HRM issues, challenges, and opportunities is a must for today's and tomorrow's students andfuture manages and leaders. After all, it is important for any book to undertake a current state of the field while also bridging the gap of traditionalHRM activities (i.e., issues, challenges and opportunities) and the possible future state of the HRM field.An organizing principle for this book is the need to for an integrated HRM system, comprised of multiple activities, designed toinfluence organizational and employee behaviors. The books contributors include some basic theories and models that simultaneously considerhow HRM activities like recruitment, selection, reward practices, and development activities among others are being impacted by contemporaryissues, challenges and opportunities for the field of HRM, particularly HRM functions and professional as they are increasinglyexpected to play a role in enabling organizational managers and other employees to achieve desired organizational results. Thus, the essenceof the book is that the collective chapters reflect both a functional orientation built on theory and models but also provide insights into howto translate theory into practice via the establishment of the increasingly critical role HRM procedures, practices, and processes play inaccomplishing the goals and objectives in contemporary organizations.
