Publisher's Synopsis
- First student-oriented text on critical human resource development
- Contains core material to meet the needs of ordinary HRD modules, but avoids the dominant instrumentalist, managerialist, masculine rationality of most competing textbooks
- International perspectives in all chapters, through a repeated "Notes from the World of HRD" feature where global academics and practitioners contribute a short note about a technique, practice, theory, exercise, or policy that is particularly relevant for their regional/country context
- Other pedagogical features include case studies, vignettes, end-of-chapter application and reflection questions, and links to relevant resources and websites
