Summary: A brillant study on SHRM !!!
Review: As stated by L.Gratton et.al. " this is not a book about the rhetoric of senior managers, embodied in such, statements as 'people are our most important asset' or 'career development is the core of our relationship with our employees'. It is not a set of idealized descriptions of how Hewlett Packard manages performance or a wish list of change management practices at Glaxo Pharmaceuticals UK. This is a book about the reality of people management in large, complex companies" such as BT Payphones, Chelsea & Westminster Healthcare Trust, Citibank, Glaxo Pharmaceuticals, Hewlett Packard, Kraft Jacob Suchard, Lloyds Bank UK Retail Banking,and W.H.Smith.Throughout the book L.Gratton et.al. examine four key questions : (1).What internal and external variables impact on the ability of organizations to devise and deliver a strategic approach to managing people? (2).What is the relationship between what is intended and what is realized? (3).In what way do human resource interventions impact on the individual? (4).How does human resource strategy influence everyday managerial behaviour? by considering the role of line management and human resource function, by providing precise observations about the link between strategy and people process, and by looking again at the form and reality of the psychological contract. I highly recommend this brillant study to all HR professionals.
