Publishers Description: "Reassessing Human Resource Management" takes a critical look at the received wisdom of Human Resources Management. Making extensive use of case studies the authors examine its growth, core assumptions and territorial claims, the extent to which it provides a coherent strategy of employee management and in what conditions it will continue to be the chosen approach. Specific themes addressed include: human resources management and competitive success; issues and contradictions in Human Resources Management; approaches to flexibility, decentralization, "reward management", supervision; production systems such as "just-in-time" manufacturing and new technology; and Human Resources Management and trade unions; Human Resources Management rhetoric as the management of managerial meaning.
