Review:

"This is a must-read for everyone in the field of human resource management. Wilkinson, Bacon, Redman and Snell have done an excellent job of conceptualizing the field of HRM and assembled an outstanding international cast of chapter authors. The four parts of the Handbook cover virtually all aspects of HRM: from micro to macro views, from private to public sector, from strategic to historical perspectives, and from the class functions to the contemporary issues."
