Customer Reviews:A comprehensive guide to the changing face of HRM 
John Purcell is highly regarded in his field, is the editor of HRM journal, and he uses this text as the core text for his teachings on the Bath MBA course. The text is not always easily read, but this is probably as much to do with his attempts to distill concepts succinctly rather than treat the reader as a undergraduate or a first time student. In content the book covers all aspects of Strategic HRM,and is probably best used as a quality update for line-managers through to CEOs on where HRM is going, rather than a handbook for HR practitioners. They would probably prefer a more detailed and painstaking analysis of the new world of HRM.
