Critical Thinking in Human Resource Development by Carole Elliott

This book provides a reflexive critique of the assumptions of orthodox HRD research and practice and questions the conception of humans as resources, as well as the conventional performative focus of HRD. Examining the broader social, political and economic contexts, the book offers alternative perspectives for considering both the needs of individuals and the sustainable development of organizations in post-industrial economies.

'This book, published in the United Kingdom, is a welcome addition to the field of Human Resource Development (HRD), where there has been a notable absence of critical studies in the area' Julia Connell, University of Newcastle, Australia for Labour and Industry

'The book should prove interesting to HRD, HRM, organisation and management scholars, as well as those human resource practitioners who wish to expand their knowledge and philosophy regarding HRD.' - Julia Connell, The University of Newcastle
