The book is organized into three sections: HRM in Context, HRM in Practice, and Contemporary Issues. Each chapter includes accessible features such as Research, Ethics, and International Insight boxes, Chapter Summaries and Objectives, Self-Test Questions, Recommended Reading, and End-of-Chapter Case Studies. These elements are designed to enhance understanding and facilitate learning.
