Knowledge, training, human resource development and human capital are all major factors on the contemporary scene.
This new textbook is the first properly international textbook to reflect these swingeing changes. Its key areas of concentration include:
Other issues explored include the supply and demand of labour, wages, the current role of trade unions, bargaining and conflict, and working time. The book is written in a clear, accessible way with some mathematical exposition, reflecting the text s grounding in current microeconomic theory. The book also contains case studies designed to illuminate theoretical concepts and exercises and discussion questions to test the students understanding of the various concepts outlined in the text.
