Managing in a Business Context: an HR approach offers human resource managers and students the intellectual tools needed to understand the business environment. It covers a wide range of theoretical perspectives in a clear and practical manner, and draws on a broad range of features to encourage readers to apply knowledge in practical situations.

The book builds on the success of the first edition (The Corporate Environment) which was appreciated by students and lecturers alike for its succinct and clear coverage of this key topic.

This book is suitable for human resource students and practitioners, especially those studying the ‘Managing in a Business Context’ component of the Professional Development Scheme of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. It will also be of value to lecturers and students of related courses such as Certificates and Diplomas in Management and MBA programmes.
