Human Resource Management (D. Torrington L. Hall S. Taylor)

This book and its antecedent have been through many editions in the quarter of a century ince first publication in 1979 as Torrington, D.P. and Chapman, J.B., Personnel Management, rentice Hall International: London. Over that period it has steadily evolved in line with the development of the personnel/HR function and the changing mix of students studying the subject. In 1979 Personnel Management or Manpower Administration was given little respect in academia. It was rarely taught on undergraduate courses and the UK did not have a single professor of personnel management, although there was a reasonable

number of professors of industrial relations. Teaching was mainly focused on professional courses leading to a qualification from the then Institute of Personnel Management (IPM). Twenty-five years later human resource management is found in virtually all undergraduate teaching of business and management, as well as in MBAs and specialist masters’ programmes.

The number of professors of industrial relations is declining and professors of

HRM are everywhere. We have been very glad to see the number of people buying the book increase year by year, despite the great growth in the number of available texts, and the steady growth of translations into foreign languages, with Georgian and Serbian being the latest versions. It is also gratifying to see that the use of the text is equally strong at all academic levels from

specialist master’s, through MBA to all undergraduate and professional courses, and that it is being used by many practitioners. For this latest edition we have comprehensively updated and revised the material to encompass legislative changes, emerging issues of professional and academic debate,

findings and commentary from our own recent research into contemporary business practices, and other recent data and survey findings. Despite adding much new material we have maintained the same general structure that has been appreciated in the past, taking each of the main functional areas of HRM in turn. We have also been careful to retain all of the material that regularly receives special commendation and requests for permission to copy.
