This book provides a reflexive critique of the assumptions of orthodox HRD research and practice and questions the conception of humans as resources, as well as the conventional performative focus of HRD. Examining the broader social, political and economic contexts, the book offers alternative perspectives for considering both the needs of individuals and the sustainable development of organizations in post-industrial economies.
'The book should prove interesting to organisation and management scholars ... [and] is a welcome addition to the field of Human Resource Development, where there has been a notable absence of critical studies.' - Julia Connell, Labour and Industry
'Succinct, accessible and well written, and manage[s] to tread a line between "preaching to the converted" and being accessible to those unfamiliar with critical management approaches' - Claire Valentin, Human Resource Development International
