Human Resource Management for MBA Students Summary

Human Resource Management for MBA Students by Iain Henderson

This text is aimed at MBA students and Masters students on general business or management programmes, who are or will become general managers, and especially those with some direct responsibility for HRM policies and practices. The purpose of the text is to give the managers of tomorrow a basic grounding in HR theory and practices.

The text will place HR in a managerial context and will cover the key areas that a line manager needs to know without placing too much emphasis on historical development. The text will therefore seek to offer a real-world perspective on people management by adopting a managerial, positivist approach and by avoiding overly academic content.
