Human Resource Development Relies Upon a Strong Educational Foundation
In the Handbook of Human Resource Development, Neal Chalofsky, Tonette Rocco, and Michael Lane Morris have compiled a collection of chapters sponsored by the Academy of Human Resource Development to address the fundamental concepts and issues that HR professionals face daily. The chapters are written and supported by professionals who offer a wide range of experience and who represent the industry from varying international and demographic perspectives. Topics addressed form a comprehensive view of the HRD field and answer a number of key questions.
- Nationally and internationally, how does HRD stand with regard to academic study and research? What is its place in the professional world?
- What are the philosophies, values, and critical perspectives driving HRD forward?
- What theories, research initiatives, and other ideas are required to understand HRD and function successfully within this field?
- As the industry grows, what are the challenges and important issues that professionals expect to face? What hot topics are occupying these professionals now?
