Strategy and Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a field of study that delves into the intricate relationship between human resources strategy and an organization's prospects for survival and overall success. It seeks to understand how HR strategy varies across different organizational, industry, and societal contexts, and how it impacts an organization's ability to thrive. SHRM adopts an analytical approach, which examines and explains the actions and decisions of managers through a research-based lens. It provides insights into the underlying motivations and rationale behind managerial behaviors, offering valuable prescriptions for future actions. While rooted in research, SHRM is brought to life through practical examples, cases, and vignettes, providing a practice-oriented analysis of the subject.

In addition to elucidating fundamental principles of strategic HRM, the book also explores critical features of various contexts in which these principles are applied. It examines the impact of capital markets, increasing financialization, Industry 4.0, the shaping of employee voice under different varieties of capitalism, and the effects of austerity on organizations and their workforce.

This fifth edition of SHRM has been updated to include increased coverage of contemporary topics that are of utmost importance in today's business landscape. It incorporates the latest theoretical advances and the most insightful studies on strategies in the world of work and people. The book retains its classic sources, which are considered fundamental to the subject, while also incorporating the latest research and best practices.

Overall, Strategy and Human Resource Management is a comprehensive and insightful text that provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between HR strategy, organizational performance, and societal contexts. It is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the role of human resources in driving organizational success.
