E-Hrm Innovation or Irritation? (PB)

Human Resource Management (HRM or HR) executives are feeling pressured by the threat of a new development in recent years: Electronic Human Resource Management systems, also known as E-HRM. Consultants and other experts purport that this phenomenon will decrease the number of HRM employees, reduce costs, and stimulate a more strategic approach by HRM departments. Is E-HRM really a ëthreat´ or will the service to management and employees actually improve with E-HRM?



E-HRM: Innovation or Irritation? Addresses this issue by analysing five major international companies in which E-HRM is used. These cases are independent explorations into the realities and results of implementing E-HRM. Based upon empirical studies as well as recent literature, the authors develop a model for E-HRM in order to stimulate and facilitate further research and decision-making on E-HRM topics in companies.



This book will help strategic management consultants, HRM professionals, and HRM researchers to learn more about the goals, types, and consequences of E-HRM.
