Human Resource Management�6th Edition
Description
This book and its antecedent have been through many editions in the quarter of a century ince first publication in 1979 as Torrington, D.P. and Chapman, J.B., Personnel Management, rentice Hall International: London. Over that period it has steadily evolved in line with the development of the personnel/HR function and the changing mix of students studying the subject. In 1979 Personnel Management or Manpower Administration was given little respect in academia. It was rarely taught on undergraduate courses and the UK did not have a single professor of personnel management, although there was a reasonable number of professors of industrial relations. Teaching was mainly focused on professional courses leading to a qualification from the then Institute of Personnel Management (IPM). Twenty-five years later human resource management is found in virtually all undergraduate teaching of business and management, as well as in MBAs and specialist masters’ programmes.
