CRITICAL HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT – BEYOND ORTHODOXY

'This book takes a critical stance and focuses not only on organisational goals, but also those of other stakeholders and society at large. This book should be of great interest to lecturers, students and practitioners who are aching for a more critical analysis. Precisely what is required at postgraduate level'- Professor Mick Marchington, Manchester Business School & Chief Moderator for Standards for the CIPD
