Strategic Hrm in a Nutshell for Small Enterprises Arbab Akanda

Strategic Human Resource Management is simply about People Management at the strategic level. Books, theories, ideas and concepts are all in great abundance. What is missing is the other side of the coin: how much do the real business people and not speaking of the business elite class, know and understand the dynamics of people management? And due to this lack of knowledge, the organization and the society at large suffer. The Strategic Human Resource Management may have matured within the academic tribe but its application is open to question. In this book, the author has taken a very reader centric perspective: the real business people. After all. the truth is: it is the common business people who really move the economy individually and collectively. The picture on the cover page of this book suggests that it is difficult to see beyond the bend, which lacks visibility, if one is approaching the bend. Similarly, the SHRM professional will see the present state but will find it difficult to see beyond. We may not be able to see beyond, yet this book will help the practitioner to prepare for the future from the present state in the context of people management by taking a strategic approach to people management. The author has dealt with some key critical people management issues like Performance, Leadership, Learning, Motivation, Ethics, Trust, Truth, Knowledge, et cetera from a strategic perspective.
