DESCRIPTION |
|
| Rosemary Harrison's new edition of the leading learning and development text meets the needs not only of those studying the CIPD's learning and development professional standard, but also of a wider master's level market including the MBA and specialist human resource management and human resource development courses. It insightful coverage of L&D policy and initiatives also makes it relevant for those studying 'development modules' in disciplines such as health, PGCE-post-compulsory education and public administration. It offers a comprehensive, balanced and highly stimulating mix of theory and practice for CIPD and non-CIPD students alike. Responding to fundamental changes in the L&D field at national and organizational levels over the past few years, this new edition includes sections on: 'Understanding the field's: introduces L&D as an organizational process, locating it in an external context that has fundamental implications for the focus, management and measurement of L&D activity in organizations. 'Getting to grips with the practice': explores ways of achieving high-quality ethical and professional L&D practice, linking learning with organizational as well as individual performance, and with practitioners who are fast-responsive to new challenges confronting them. 'Making a business contribution': explores ways of achieving high-quality ethical and professional L&D practice, linking learning with organizational as well as individual performance, and with practitioners who are fast-responsive to new challenges confronting them. Building for the Future: Discusses the potential contribution of L&D activity to developing organizational capacity, and leadership and management capability, and concludes by identifying the major challenges now facing the L&D profession. This new edition of learning and development offers a remarkable journey through this ever-expanding field, providing readers with a clear, systematic and comprehensive understand of what has become a vast and increasingly complex area. Professor Mick Marchington, Professor of Human Resource Management, Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester. Accessible style of writing, good combination of activities that can be used in class or as individual reflection to extend learning and encourage transfer of learning. The inclusion of websites to look at for further information facilitates wider reading. Nicola Small, Lecturer, Solihull College. I see this publication becoming an almost 'exclusive' text for UK students for this subject. It is very friendly to any student who wishes to have either 'surface' learning or even 'deep' learning. This book is easy to navigate through as there is signposting to the national standards and of course set questions near the end on each chapter/outcome. There really is nothing comparable to this publication. David Williams, CIPD programme leader, University of Greenwich. |
