Strategic Human Resource Management 2e Authors: C Bailey, D Mankin, C Kelliher, and T Garavan | OUP UK | Paperback | March 2018 | 416 pages | 9780198705406


What is strategic HRM, and how do you apply it in business? What makes good HR strategy and how do you develop it? What are the key issues that need to be considered when creating, developing, and embedding a strategic approach to managing people? These are the fundamental questions asked by HR professionals and tackled in this innovative and comprehensive textbook.


Drawing on the latest academic research, the well-respected author team take a reliably thematic approach to SHRM. Broken into four distinct parts, the book addresses the context, theories, themes, and future of managing people strategically. Tata Motors, Samsung, Pizza Express, and Deliveroo make up some of the case studies and examples that feature across the book, ensuring that theoretical discussion is always linked to practical application. New ‘Strategic HRM in Action’ boxes take this one step further by presenting students with a scenario in which they themselves can make strategic decisions and refl ect on their own evaluation of real-life business practices.


Critical thinking is essential in SHRM, so frequent Critical Refl ection boxes, Review Questions, and questions or activities to accompany every case study ensure students are challenged to engage with the subject critically and refl ectively, and consider their own evaluations of the essential theories and the strategic practices adopted by diff erent organizations. Global case studies and an opening chapter dedicated to the global context of SHRM challenge the dominant Western perspective and provide a rounded and adaptable view of SHRM.

Making use of chapter maps and learning objectives to guide students through the complexities of the subject, the author conveys the realities of strategic management through a diverse selection of international and contemporary examples. Strategy in Focus boxes use examples from popular media to show strategic management issues at work in the headlines we read every day. A longer, integrated Case Example closes every chapter tying in multiple strategic challenges that aff ect businesses large and small, public and private. Review and discussion questions then encourage students to be critical of the material and juxtapose alternative concepts and frameworks to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
