Step beyond theory to application.

Students want to learn skills at university that will help them excel in the workplace and educators want to ensure students understand the theories behind successful organisations. This unique Australian text appeals to both of these needs. The text facilitates the development of critical and innovative thinking, allowing readers to make Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) decisions in the light of the diverse features of any given business and its operating environment. Being practical and easy to comprehend, the text helps make the study of HRM attractive to students and provides a great learning platform in HRM for both management and non-management majors.

Features

* Taking an applied approach, this text teaches students the ‘how to’ of SHRM as opposed to merely describing why SHRM is important. It helps to address the processes of effective SHRM and the development of critical and innovative thinking.
* The text uses a decision-making model known as the SHRM Application Tool which readers can apply to individual topics within the book. This model has been used successfully by the authors in university classrooms for over a decade.
* A View from the Field boxes provide real world cases written by an experienced and highly regarded HR executive.
* A Manager’s Challenge boxes provide current examples of HRM challenges that Australian managers, organisations or industries should be aware of in the quest for effective SHRM and the achievement of a competitive advantage.
* Pedagogical features include learning objectives, margin definitions, chapter summaries, review questions, exercises, a list of references and a glossary.
* The text is divided into 12 chapters which makes it ideal for a one semester unit.
* Each chapter (both in the text and the Instructor's Manual) provides an example of the SHRM Application Tool, taking into consideration the topic covered in the corresponding chapter. This allows students to actively practise the process of achieving and maintaining effective SHRM.
* This wholly Australian text comes with a quality instructor’s resource package including an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint slides, Website and Testbank.
