Human Resource Development - Critical Perspectives and Practices

First student-oriented text on critical human resource development Contains core material to meet the needs of ordinary HRD modules, but avoids the dominant instrumentalist, managerialist, masculine rationality of most competing textbooks International perspectives in all chapters, through a repeated "Notes from the World of HRD" feature where global academics and practitioners contribute a short note about a technique, practice, theory, exercise, or policy that is particularly relevant for their regional/country context Other pedagogical features include case studies, vignettes, end-of-chapter application and reflection questions, and links to relevant resources and websites
