After reading that book,I said wow.Strong,clear and open minded!Everybody speaking about strategic HRM but neither one able to explain what it is.Well Boxall in my opinione found the right approach to the problem,exiting from the best practices' jungle.A whole book full of strategic insights about HRM,dealing with the main aspects of emploiment relationships.People from one side, the organization on the other an the HR function trying to find out the way to keep them togheter toward the strategic objectives:that's the main theme of the book that passing through a lot of interesting problems opens a lot of door and questions on the field of HR,but really never closing any solution or excluding you to reflect about the matter. I should define it exciting.
Really good value.

This new edition of the classic Bloxall text does not disappoint. I'll be using it for my class of Honours (4th year) students and expect it to provide a basis for lively disucssion. It's not the most entertaining book to read, but substance wins out over "bells-and-whistles" at this level of scholrship.
