This decade long labour of love is a well researched and well presented postgraduate level textbook meant to be used in B-Schools and covers the syllabus of most Indian Universities insofar as Human Resources Management is concerned. It is specifically aimed at those students who are specialising in HR at the MMS MBA and PGDBM levels. The intention is that the student buys the book in Semester I and uses it up until Semester IV. The combined effort of a political economist and a behavioural scientist, both of who are now based in Northern India, has given this student-friendly book a multi-disciplinary flavour. A comprehensive bibliography and a question bank given herein make it essential for students of HR writing their project reports and preparing for their examinations. To make reading and understanding easy, the book is divided into two discrete parts. The first comprehensively deals with the theory of Human Resources Management and here the input of Jayashree Sadri has been predominant. The second posits cases stratified by function and drawn from real-life examples mostly from Eastern India. Here, the input of Sorab Sadri has been predominant. These cases are copyrighted by him and used in earlier published books as well as in training sessions with success. The intention here is to allow the reader to link theory with practice and assist understanding of this subject all that more. In sum, this textbook is a seminal work, which must adorn the book shelf of every HR professional across the country.
