Description of Human Resource Development in a Knowledge Economy
"Human Resource Development in a Knowledge Economy" provides a critical approach to the study of human resource development, emphasising the need for its effective integration with human resources management and wider strategic management of organisations. The text draws readers through a stimulating reflection on human resource development's past, current and potential future organisational role and impact, powerfully linking its domain to that of learning and knowledge in an emerging knowledge-based economy. Drawing on a broad selection of recent literature and international research from Europe, the USA and Japan, "Human Resource Development in a Knowledge Economy" is an excellent core textbook for all students of human resource development, human resource management and business strategy, especially at postgraduate and professional levels.
