Strategic human resource management (SHRM) has been taken up by academics, consultants, and practitioners. However, the integration of human resource strategy with business strategy is often easier in theory than in practice. Bridging this gap, Michael Armstrong offers a guide both to formulating human resource strategies and to implementing them.

This new, sixth edition reflects important developments in human resource strategies linked with those issues that affect HRM on a daily basis, including human capital management, corporate social responsibility, organization development, employee engagement, and talent management.

The book also includes content on developing and delivering HR strategy, implementation of organizational and individual performance strategies, and international aspects of strategic human resources management.
