Armstrong's Handbook of Strategic Human Resource Management by Michael Armstrong

Learn about and be able to implement complex HRM strategies formulated by practitioners, academics and consultants with the latest edition of this popular book.

"The perfect book for HR students to follow and revise with [and] for HR practitioners to dip into and reflect on the issues they are facing, how to classify them and what frameworks to move forward with in addressing them... Michael confronts all of the major HR debates of the day - the ethical dilemmas of modern HRM; the mistakenly elitist impression that 'talent management' is only about developing your high-fliers; the 'say:do' and 'rhetoric: reality' gaps commonly evident due to "insufficient attention to practical implementation" and the line managers entrusted with it....Expertly summarising the debates on the different definitions of HRM strategy and even those who deny the concept's practical existence, Michael's well-evidenced and cautionary conclusion is to "remember that HR strategy is a process, a 'pattern in a stream of decisions', not a document, event or intervention...HRM has become something that organisations do rather than a philosophy, the process of managing people"." * Dr Duncan Brown, Head of HR Consulting, Institute for Employment Studies *
"It will be of major value to the human resources manager since it underscores the strategic importance of HR representation at board level, and demonstrates how each aspect of HR strategy should be linked seamlessly into the global business strategy" * Training Journal *
