Summary
Summary
Combining up-to-date research, innovative content and practical perspectives, this book is the benchmark by which all other strategic HRM reference works should be measured. Leading figures from around the globe survey the current state of the discipline, while also introducing and exploring new, cutting edge themes in order to offer a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the field.
Section introductions and integrative critiques pull together the separate themes to provide cross-comparisons between chapters to create a cohesive and well-structured volume. Unlike other texts in this area, The Routledge Companion to Strategic Human Resource Management incorporates contributions from leading management and business writers in areas adjacent to human resource management, including strategy, innovation and organizational learning. These add fresh and challenging insights into HRM themes from key mainstream business and management thinking. The field of strategic HRM is thus enriched and extended by this volume.
Focusing on the interplay between theory and practice, this book is an essential resource for researchers and students studying human resource management and strategy.

Choice Review
Edited by three university professors, this well-written volume is intended to provide a general survey of the human resource management (HRM) discipline. In the process, it integrates into the discussion theory and practice along with business dimensions such as strategy, innovation, and organizational learning. The volume is divided into 10 parts and 30 chapters representing the contributions of 41 authors. Parts 1 and 2 define strategic human resources management (SHRM), making the case for why it is both a field of practice and a study and providing a set of analytical frameworks for examining it. Subsequent parts discuss the role of SHRM and its external environment (e.g., legal, global context, and changing labor markets); the evolution of the human resources organization; various areas of human resources practice (e.g., recruitment, selection, development); and approaches for building human resource capabilities (e.g., leadership development and human capital acquisition). Final sections outline some changing contexts for HRM (e.g., growth of entrepreneurship and recruitment of global leaders). They discuss HRM in India, China, and Africa, and link HRM with performance outcomes such as the creation of economic value, organizational change, and customer outcomes. This comprehensive volume will serve well as an HRM text and reference. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. T. Gutteridge University of Toledo
