About this title

Synopsis

Human Resource Development was written primarily to serve as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and graduate courses that prepare students to train and develop people. As such, the book covers the entire field of HRD (as defined by the American Society for Training and Development s competency study), from orientation and skills training, to career development and organizational development. Human Resource Development provides a clear understanding of the concepts, processes, and practices that form the basis of success, and shows how concepts and theory can and have been put into practice in a variety of organizations. The book focuses on the shared role of line management and human resource specialists in HRD. It also reflects the current state of the field, blending real-world practices and up-to-date research.
