Using research-based case examples, this book is the first systematic attempt to analyze the way human resources are managed within multi-divisional structures. John Purcell and Bruce Ahlstrand discuss the role of the corporate personnel department, the managers of unions and collective bargaining, and differing management styles. The book will be a useful aid in understanding the complexity for human resources management in the multi-divisional company, and providing a basis for action.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-230) and index.
