Human Resource Management: Rhetorics and Realities Karen Legge is an English-language textbook that offers a critical analysis of human resource management within the labor market and the broader socio-economic context. It is aimed at students and professionals in higher education, with attention to current debates in the field.
This influential book examines the contradictions between the theory and practice of resource management and personnel policy. With a sharp-minded approach, it places the well-known rhetorics and realities of human resource management in perspective, making it relevant for various postgraduate programs in HRM and industrial relations.
Karen Legge adds a new introduction and preface in which she updates the original debates and connects them to developments in the new millennium. This strengthens the book’s value as a reference work in the Management, Work and Organisations series.
The content aligns with themes such as personnel and human resources management, business & economics, and management & business in a broad sense.
