Beskrivning

Human Resource Management for the Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Industries uses a strategic and issues-driven approach to present a reflective analysis of how human resource evolves in the context of international tourism, hospitality and leisure. Drawing on wide-ranging, international academic and application sources to illustrate the debates and vital issues that exist within people management in this sector, this book is designed to develop students’ critical understanding of why things operate in the manner that they do and how the international context creates diversity in the application of management principles. In addition, this process of reflecting on human resource issues will allow students to arrive at ideas and solutions that will assist them in the workplace.
