A thorough critical evaluation of the theory, practice and developments in the field is presented here, within which the functions and activities associated with employee development are identified and explored. The text is divided into three parts: the context, the process and the management of employee development. The first part examines developments in ED, the national context, with international comparisons, and the organisational context. The second part evaluates various models of ED and the analysis, design and implementation of ED activities, including a thorough treatment of learning theory. The third part concentrates on ED policy and resourcing.

The aim of this new text is to provide a concise introduction to HRM that will be relevant to business studies students taking only one compulsory course in the subject and who are likely to become general and line managers, rather than HR specialists. To this end, the book places less emphasis on theoretical discussion of the subject and more specialist areas of HRM, concentrating rather on the core topics and the interrelationship between human resourcing specialists and line managers.

THE 909 -- A group of young Americans are living in Riverside in the years after the dot-com crash of 2000. Before the crash, they might have become investment bankers or lawyers, but the experience of so much loss and economic hardship has undermined their belief in traditional American values, and sent them off to "The 909" in search of new experiences. Now they're living as artists and writers, going from bar to bar, drinking too much, gossiping more than working, and exploring a new sexual freedom. Nothing, we learn, will improve for these people. If they're lost, they won't be found; if they're forsaken, they won't be redeemed.
