Multi Pack: Management and Organisational Behaviour with Contemporary Human Resource Management:Text and Cases

This Multi Pack consists of Management and Organisational Behaviour, 7th Edition, by Laurie Mullins (ISBN: 0273688766) and Contemporary Human Resource Management by Tom Redman, Adrian Wilkinson (ISBN: 020159613X) Management and Organisational Behaviour takes a managerial approach, demonstrating the application of behavioural science within the workplace, this text emphasises the role of management as a core integrating activity. This long established market leader has set standards that few texts have met in terms of accessibility of writing style and clarity of presentation, by making unfamiliar theory relevant, easily understood and logically applied to the world of work. Contemporary Human Resource Management provides a thought provoking, critical, yet accessible introduction to Human Resource Management.  The book is divided into two parts; the first part, Fundamentals of HRM, provides an analysis of the core elements of HR practice, whilst the second part, Contemporary Themes and Issues addresses key areas of rising importance in HRM practice.      Each chapter provides a critical review of the topic bringing together theoretical and empirical material in a clear and engaging manner, and is accompanied by a combination of case studies, role-plays and exercises for students. The emphasis is on analysis and insight, but at the same time the authors look at the implications of HRM research and theory development for practice. From the Back Cover This market leading text guides students to a thorough understanding of organisational behaviour and relates this to effective management practice. It is an invaluable resource, which provides a clear and insightful introduction to management studies and acts as a comprehensive point of reference thereafter. Reasons to choose Mullins "Mullins is distinctive because it covers not just organisational behaviour but management as well. It combines a great breadth of coverage with an accessible writing style and attractive layout and design. To myself and to my students, it's a trusted friend." Anna Lee, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK "I recommend Mullins because of its readability and straightforward style. This is very important when teaching multicultural classes where English is not their first language." David Wilson, Hogeschool INHolland, The Netherlands "I recommend Mullins because of its depth of coverage of topics which I consider central to management and OB, and in particular for its focus on leadership. The book encourages students to form their own conclusions by considering multiple points of view and brings clarity to this often complex subject by avoiding jargon and technical terminology." Hugo Misselhorn, University of Durban-Westville, South Africa "The book is packed with relevant concepts, examples and exercises that are readily accessible to students at a variety of levels. Students tell me they like the layout, with plenty of diagrams and illustrations to help bring the concepts to life. The secret of the book's success is that it is so versatile – it can either be read cover to cover as the definitive management textbook, or it can be used as a reference work, enabling students to dip into relevant sections as required."
