Why study HRM?

Imaginative and expertly designed human resource management (HRM) is considered by today's global leaders as central to an organisation's success. HR practitioners around the world are an integral part of that success, and as recognition of the distinctive contribution of HRM grows, it is increasingly valued, both as a career, and as a foundation for careers in other branches of management.
