Description
Providing succinct definitions of over 3,000 terms, Dictionary of HRD is the most comprehensive work of its kind.
Based on Angus Reynolds' successful American dictionary, Sally Sambrook and Jim Stewart have extensively reworked this new book with a British and international readership in mind. The entries have been structured to meet the needs of the busy practitioner: definitions of theory are here, but the overall emphasis is on practice. Useful general business terms, which the professional would naturally encounter during the course of their work, are included too.
The Dictionary is organized as follows:
โข over 3,000 terms, arranged alphabetically.
Definitions range from a succinct sentence, to a paragraph, depending on significance
โข a list of '100 essential HRD terms'
โข a list of acronyms and abbreviations
โข a list of journals of interest to HRD specialists.
As well as being an invaluable source of reference and new ideas for training and HR professionals and academics, this will be welcomed by a much wider range of managers as an authoritative guide to HR issues, organizations and terminology.
