Product Description
Walker's 1980 McGraw-Hill title, Human Resource Planning, encompassed the most significant trends in human resource management of the 1980's; in a similar manner, this new offering is destined to become the forward-looking text of the '90's, and potentially will influence the way human resource management is taught in many institutions. The shift from a traditional planning to strategic emphasis, and special attention to human resource issues are in line with the most current thinking. Walker's examples include some of the world's most innovative, flexible organizations.

Reviews


Human Resource Strategy Review
Walker believes that human resource strategy first begins with the process of defining what human resource issues are. The text shows how these strategies should be integrated into the overall mission, vision and values of organizations. Staffing, benefits, organization design and structure are all outlined as they relate to strategic planning. Walker also emphasizes the planning of human resource strategies for those issues directly related to other business strategies that are helpful in building a competitive edge or maintaining parity with other organizations. I would recommend this text to early graduate students studying business administration.

Some Very Important Issues for HRM
This book is one of the excellent resources in Human Resource Management. In this book you will not only find the common chapters found in every HRM book but also you will find the relation of Human Resources with other important organizational variables such as planning process and organizational structure. In relation with HRM perspective, Total Quality Management and other useful management tools were explained in Walkers book. This book instigates you to think about the future and to approach HRM from a strategic perspective. An easily readable book, do not wait too much, read it.
