Strategic Human Resource Management
by Catherine Bailey, David Mankin, Clare Kelliher, Thomas Garavan
2018 · Oxford University Press
What is strategic HRM, and how do you apply it in business? What makes good HR strategy and how do you develop it? What are the key issues that need to be considered when creating, developing, and embedding a strategic approach to managing people? These are the fundamental questions asked by HR professionals and tackled in this innovative and comprehensive textbook. Drawing on the latest academic research, the well-respected author team take a reliably thematic approach to SHRM. Broken into four distinct parts, the book addresses the context, theories, themes, and future of managing people strategically. Case studies and examples include Tata Motors, Samsung, Pizza Express, and Deliveroo, ensuring that theoretical discussion is always linked to practical application. New "Strategic HRM in Action" boxes take this one step further by presenting students with a scenario in which they themselves can make strategic decisions and reflect on their own evaluation of real-life business practices. Critical thinking is essential in SHRM, so frequent "Critical Reflection" boxes, Review Questions, and questions accompany every case study ensure students are challenged to engage with the subject critically and reflectively. Global case studies and an opening chapter dedicated to the global context of SHRM challenge the dominant Western perspective and provide a rounded and adaptable view of SHRM. A user-friendly structure and wide range of learning features, including learning objectives, key concept boxes, and summaries, ensure the text remains accessible, even for those completely new to SHRM.

In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, David Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introducing “God’s human drama” as a way to explain the gospel within God’s redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a “gospeling” culture within their congregations. Gustafson expertly lays the foundations of and approaches to evangelism that are seminal and apt for the church today.

The Anguish of Adolescence is a timely read for anyone looking to understand and support today’s teenagers, especially those grappling with anxiety, depression, and spiritual disconnect. As mental health issues surge, this highlights the importance of offering the gospel of peace to emerging generations yearning for hope. Teens face overwhelming pressures from social media and rapid cultural changes, often resulting in a growing disconnect from traditional family structures and religious institutions. This gap can be bridged by offering teens a pathway to reconnect with faith and family while addressing their struggles. Current research shows that social media contagion amplifies external voices, drawing youth into others’ narratives and stripping them of their unique stories. Half of all teenagers struggle with anxiety and depression, and suicide attempts continue to rise. Through a compassionate, incarnational approach, adults, youth ministers, and mentors are encouraged to connect with young people in their spaces—building trust, listening, and learning their unique language. Practical steps are provided to begin meaningful relationships, contextualize the gospel for young people, and offer real-world solutions to their struggles. For those passionate about making a lasting impact in the lives of youth, The Anguish of Adolescence will equip you with the tools to break down barriers and foster deep, transformative relationships. Ultimately, it’s about offering healing, wholeness, and the love of Jesus to a generation that desperately needs and yearns for peace but rejects the church. This resource is for anyone committed to walking with teens through their spiritual and emotional journeys. “For anyone who desires to share God’s love and good news with teens today, The Anguish of Adolescence is invaluable in its insights and practical help. David and Antoinette Flood draw on their thirty years as bi-vocational youth leaders, plus extensive research on the cultural world of teens that includes skyrocketing numbers of teens suffering anxiety and depression. Teens often lack religious frameworks, and theological terms like “gospel” and “peace” have no biblical meaning. Offering an alternative to the superficial peace seen on social media, The Anguish of Adolescence proclaims the everlasting gospel of peace and shows how this peace of God can be lived out among teens. For pastors and parents who want to connect better with their teens, this book provides a pathway to authentic, meaningful relationships.” Lynn H. Cohick, PhD, is distinguished professor of New Testament and director of Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University.
