This book examines the progress made in e-enabling the HR function
and the relationship with outsourcing. The editors review and
analyse recent developments in the application of outsourcing and
ICT to the HR function and its overall contribution to
organizational aims. This text aims to fill the gap in current
literature, by providing accessible guidance on how to tackle the
e-enablement of the function and on the factors associated with
successful outsourcing. There is no single text that adequately
deals with this increasingly important problem and which has been
recognised by the CIPD as a key area of research for their forward
programme. The contributors all have leading-edge knowledge and
practical experience and aim to provide practical guidance for
organizations and HR professionals. This work features practical
case studies illustrating the developments in the application of
outsourcing and ICT to the HR function.

Deliver greater value to your organisation through HR
transformation. Transforming HR, Second edition offers robust,
practical advice on changing the way human resource management is
undertaken, walking you through the transformational process from
initial planning to the evaluation of outcomes. Since the first
edition of the book many organisations have restructured their HR
functions and invested in better HR information systems but with
new issues emerging all the time, the journey towards
transformation must continue. To support this journey the authors
draw on their own experience and insights in this new edition,
which features:Practical tools and approaches to guide planning,
implementation and evaluation of transformation strategies aimed at
increasing the value of HR's contribution in organisationsNew
chapters on HR's value proposition, Web 2.0 and benefits
realisation to demonstrate their critical role in
transformationCutting edge research on topics such as the use of
social media technology by HR, with views and experience from
senior practitioners across a broad range of organisationsFresh
thinking on the people agenda to be addressed by progressive HR
functions Intended as an inspiring, hands-on guide to planning,
implementing and evaluating transformation strategies, Transforming
HR, second edition is an essential companion as you work to
increase the value of HR in your organisation.
As an HR practitioner, you are under ever-increasing pressure to
transform and deliver greater value to your organisation. The HR
transformation agenda involves the effective use of technology,
outsourcing and development of HR capability to provide high
quality internal support, but reliable guidance on how to make this
transformational change happen can be hard to come by. This second
edition of "Transforming HR" provides the framework and revisits
the scenarios, issues and challenges posed at the end of the first
edition to review what has changed and what remains to be done.
Many HR functions are now claiming to have transformed--the aim of
this second edition is to explore and challenge the basis for some
of these claims, noting progess and identifying additional changes
that are needed. As leading practitioners in HR transformation, the
authors have supported end-to-end HR transformation in a wide range
of organisations and provide the knowledge and experience you need
to guide you through the process. Example case studies demonstrate
the theory in practice, and interviews with senior HR professionals
provide 'practitioner perspectives' on the HR transformation
journey.
* Focused on the tools, techniques and framework needed for
successful HR transformation, with full coverage of the emerging
issues within this fast moving area
* Highly experienced authors provide knowledge and insight from the
leading edge of HR transformation
* Incorporates practical case study examples to illustrate best
practice in a real-world setting
Cells do not normally live as single entities but are grouped
together in specific functional and structural configurations in
various tissues. Intra cellular mechanisms maintain cellular
viability and provide the means necessary for their specific
cellular functions. The interaction between cells is maintained by
mechanisms involving extracellular signalling. Such extracellular
mechanisms may include special properties of the cell surface which
involve immediate cell contact, but may also represent mechanisms
which act at a distance and are mediated via special secretions
and/or re ceptors. Recent studies on cell-cell contact have tended
to stress cell sur face components directly mediating cellular
interactions; the extracellular medium as a metabolically active
compartment has been rather neglected. However, it represents a
vital medium through which cells communicate, being important in,
for example, chemotaxis in primitive organisms, and in devel ment
and in the coordination of multiple functions in multi cellular 0
ganisms. It is not surprising, therefore, that a number of mole
cular me anisms have developed together with increasing biological
complexi during evolution. Two aspects of the extracellular space
have received increasing attention in the last few years. First,
several macro molecules such as collagen, laminin and fibronectin
have been identified as components of an extracellular matrix
giving a structural dimension to the extracellular compartment."
The authors bring to People and Organisational Development the
benefit of both academic and practitioner experience. The detailed
international and European case studies combine to produce an
extensive approach to successful and unsuccessful change efforts.
The text provides expansive coverage of emergent theories of
organisational development and human resource management, and gives
practical examples of how these can be applied.
