Synopsis

The emergence of the resource-based view of the firm has meant that, increasingly, issues in human resource management occupy a central place in the agenda of management and strategy. This textbook brings together outstanding contributions from some of the leading thinkers in contemporary management to consider a range of debates around: the morality and ethics of management; the consumer culture; the influence of the service ethic and Total Quality Management; flexible working, new organizational forms and networks; and knowledge creation and the impact of technology.

Review:

`The reader provides an extensive variety of articles... and it explicitly recognizes and addresses the diversity and fragmentary nature of SHRM research′ - Organization Studies

`This Reader of chapters and articles by respected authorities is designed for both students and practising managers... Mabey, Salaman and Storey finish with what could be considered a benchmark of the essence of SHRM′ - Service Industries Journal
