The Future is Not Far Away

Abstract

In this book we have examined the techniques available to personnel specialists and line managers in their search to maximise the contribution of people to business success. We have stressed the need for such techniques to be used within a framework of corporate objectives which in their turn determine organisational requirements, both qualitative and quantitative, for human resources. This book recognises that there are few, if any, easy solutions to people management problems. Each organisation is unique, both in terms of its context (political, economic, social and technological) and by virtue of its culture, systems and structures.
