β¦ Synopsis
This book breaks new ground in human resource management through focussing on specific themes written by a range of European Experts drawing on a common survey. As such it is a major progression from previous texts that lack a coherent, cross-national database. This book represents a truly collaborative European project on themes such as flexibility, training and development, industrial relations, regional aspects and the problems of organising and undertaking comparative human resource management research.
