This text draws together in one volume the latest thinking and practice in reward management. Particular attention is paid to the relationship of reward policy and practice to strategy, while contributions from a wide range of academics and practitioners illustrate the theoretical links between reward and other fields of academic interest such as motivation, labour economics and economic policy. This critical examination of employee reward is always placed in the context of what actually happens in practice.    The book is divided into three parts - dimensions of reward, reward as a systems component, reward strategies - each with an introduction detailing the aims of the part, the areas to be covered and their relevance to the subject.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49562995917073,"sku":"GOR001459386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595476607249,"sku":"GOR013376574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53259065852177,"sku":"GOR001610902","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0273630849.jpg?v=1751101791"},{"product_id":"sage-dictionary-of-qualitative-management-research-book-richard-thorpe-9781412935289","title":"The SAGE Dictionary of Qualitative Management Research","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a crucial reference tool for anyone conducting research in this field of study.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003c\/em\u003eR.V.

The ability to direct often very large and diverse organizations; to make sense of the complex and turbulent markets and environments in which you operate; and to adapt and learn seems at an all time premium. The premise behind the fifth edition of this influential Handbook is that leadership, management and organizational development are all parts of the same process; enhancing the capacity of organizations, whatever their size, and the people within them to achieve their purpose. To this end, the editors have brought together a who's who of current writers on leadership and development and created the definitive single volume guide to the subject. The perspectives that the text provides to leadership, learning and development, embrace the formal and the informal, cultures and case examples from organizations of all kinds; and offers readers a rigorous, readable and, where appropriate, ground-breaking book. In the 14 years since the fourth edition of this classic book, very much has changed. But the need for this Handbook is as strong as ever and the Fifth Edition of Gower Handbook of Leadership and Management Development is set to become a definitive read for senior managers and those who develop them and an essential reader for the management students aspiring to become the next generation of leaders.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619513987345,"sku":"NLS9781032838175","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035994841361,"sku":"NIN9781032838175","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032838175.jpg?v=1761536094"},{"product_id":"it-s-a-big-country-dvd-0883316175576","title":"It's a Big Country","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423381119249,"sku":"CINB002TOL4CIVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0883316175576.jpg?v=1776383535"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-richard-thorpe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
