Drawing on contributions from 19 leading academic authorities on HRM in Ireland, the book presents critical analysis of developments in strategy in all the main areas of HRM: rewards; voice arrangements; dealing with unions; recruitment and selection; staff development; work organisation; quality management; organisational change programmes; equal opportunity; HRM in Irish international companies; and the links between competitive strategies and human resources strategies. The book includes numerous case studies of how issues are handled in major Irish and multinational companies, and reports the latest Irish research in the field.

With contributions from both educators and practising HR managers, Human Resource Strategies makes an important contribution to Irish management education and professional debate. It is particularly relevant for MBA, MBS, executive and post-experience students and for use in undergraduate courses concerned with the links between HRM and the general management of businesses. It will be of interest to students and professionals alike.
