- Human Resource Management, Industrial Management
Strategy and the Human Resource is an examination of contemporary changes in human resource management, strategy, structure and management processes. Starkey and McKinlay
-
- Trace the link between strategic analysis and HRM
-
- Examine the relationship between corporate strategy and HRM in a number of companies
-
- Explore these changes in an in-depth analysis of Ford.
Starkey and McKinlay demonstrate that competitive advantage is now defined in terms of high quality rather than low cos, technical innovation and design leadership rather than emultion and conservatism, flexibility rather than specialization.
This book is unique in its in-depth analysis of the experience of managers in negotiating a period of profound and dramatic strategic change. It challenges quick-fix approaches to management while emphasizing the opportunities and difficuties of reconfiguring Western organizations in the light of Japanese management practices.

Store description
Toby's Books are mainly new or minor shelf wear review copies or new books purchased which (in spite of original optimism) have not been read. Some of the review copies are first edition hard cover and are now difficult to obtain as the bulk of these were sold to libraries. Some books were purchased second hand, some as ex-library stock, but most were purchased second hand with minimal wear and are in surprisingly good condition in spite of twenty or so years on a shelf. Some of my books are only available in the North America - where they were bought on visits to Detroit, Washington, and New York. There is always an element of the subjective in assessments of condition. However, very effort has been made to ensure that the description errs towards the negative rather than the positive. I am able to send photos of any book or journal you may be interested in, as well as other detail. On shipping, I use Abe's default charges which are the lowest. I do not attempt to make a profit on shipping, in fact shipping is often at a loss. Where shipping is considerably above Abe's standard price, my policy is to go halves with the purchaser on the difference. Although Abe gives standard shipping times, please be aware that books to the Southern hemisphere tend to arrive very close to the limit if sent surface.…
