Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The central focus of this book is the changing nature, context and role of human resource management. Part One considers the changing nature of the employment relationship and psychological contracts in the light of the ongoing process of technological change, downsizing and structural change within organizations. Part Two examines the theme of flexibility and part Three is concerned with partnership. The concluding chapter gives an overview of the conclusions from the three parts and asks whether HRM is in crisis or evolving.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 315-336) and indexes.
