Abstract
Human Resource Management 2e is an Australian adaptation of the best-selling US text by Gary Dessler. It contains a wealth of material on the theory and practice of HRM in Australia. In this second edition the Australian authors have maintained the highly readable writing style of past editions, and have continued to draw on engaging material from practitioner experience, academic literature and current media sources to shed light on the importance of HRM as a profession in the 21st century.
