Human intellect remains irreplaceable. Despite rapid technological advancements and the rise of artificial intelligence, technology will always serve as a tool to enable progress, rather than replacing the human touch. In any organization, human resources are the most valuable asset, and managing them is often more complex than handling technology due to the absence of programming or automation. In today's fast-evolving global business environment, the role of human resource management (HRM) has undergone a significant transformation.
HRM is now more strategic, playing a crucial role in adding value to organizational goals. Changes in workforce demographics, business dynamics, and technological innovations have prompted a revision of this book's content to ensure it remains relevant and aligned with contemporary needs.
The seventh edition of this book is a thoroughly updated and revised version designed to enhance students' understanding of HRM in the rapidly changing business world. It incorporates the latest research, applications, and real-world examples to bridge theory and practice effectively.
