Chapter Chapter 1 in Do We Need HR?, 2015, pp 1-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Our previous book, Leading HR,1 was written principally for those with the responsibility of leading HR functions who wanted to have business influence. This book is written for those who have business influence and who want to understand the people and organizational challenges that this influence will create. We put people management into its rightful general management context. We have structured this book into eight chapters. After introducing its rationale in this chapter, we take seven contemporary themes — predominantly business-driven, but one purposefully driven by broader societal questions — and analyze the organizational and people management challenges that each creates.
