As one of the first sectors affected by the current phase of crisis
in capital accumulation, the automobile industry has had much to
learn and now has much to teach. A recognition of the great
diversity of forms of adaptation introduced to face the
uncertainties of the market, lead to the formation of GERPISA and
its international programme of research on the emergence of new
industrial models. This book, a product of that research, is a
valuable and timely insight into the innovations and adjustments of
some of the major vehicular manufacturers and through them into the
future of industry as a whole.
Factors such as globalisation, restructuring, casualization of
employment and the erosion of pension rights have led to massive
tensions in contemporary organizations. By exploring the boundaries
of the field of Human Resource Development this book asks where is
HRD in the middle of all this and presents an innovative and
challenging approach to HRD theory and practice. With contributions
from a number of leading international scholars, the chapters draw
upon a range of epistemologies and adopt a critically reflective
perspective on the field. The chapters are divided into four
sections moving from a critical perspective on the definition and
boundaries of the field of HRD, through a re-thinking of the
human-centred nature of HRD, and the organisational context within
which HRD takes place, to, finally, perspectives on the future role
of HRD in the changing knowledge economy. The book's main
conclusion is that HRD remains a contested concept within the more
broadly contested field of organisation and management theory. Yet
this is neither a drawback nor weakness on the one hand, nor an
advantage or strength on the other. Both threats and opportunities
present themselves for the future growth of HRD as an academic
field, and as an arena of professional practice

"Nietzsche's Case" combines the multiple perspectives of Bernd
Magnus, a philosopher and Nietzsche scholar, Jean-Pierre Mileur, a
critical theorist/Romanticist, and Stanley Stewart, a Renaissance
literary scholar. Conceptually, it occupies the interface of
philosophy and literature. Nietzsche's texts are brought into
dialogue with the New Testament and texts by Sidney, Bacon,
Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare, Browning, Coleridge, Wordsworth,
Blake, Carlyle and Lawrence, as well as with the standard texts of
the philosophical and critical traditions from Plato to Derrida.
Nietzsche claimed that every great event constitutes "the personal
confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious
memoir". Magnus, Mileur and Stewart reveal the greatness of
Nietzsche's philosophical achievement and at the same time unravel
the unconscious and involuntary memoir it constitutes. "Nietzsche's
Case" points beyond the philosopher's brief to the objects the
brief interrogates - traditional religion, philosophy, and
morality. It also examines the case Nietzsche himself is,
interrogating the proper name "Nietzsche".
