This book analyses a collection of key strategic human resource management (HRM) and employment
relations (ER) topics. The book follows a unique pedagogical design employing problem-based
learning and participant-centred learning approaches both of which the author has extensive
experience in implementing with post-graduate learners. The book also prepares the learner to
use these approaches and has resources for the instructor.The first part of the book provides
a very focussed research commentary highlighting the key theoretical approaches in HRM and ER.
The second part offers details of the design and implementation of strategic HRM and ER
practices. The third part features a selection of contemporary research-based case studies that
bring to life the debates and tensions inherent in the field of strategic HRM and ER.
