Learning and Development - Softcover

Now in its fifth edition, Rosemary Harrison¿s insightful and engaging L&D text remains the definitive textbook for HRD and HRM students at postgraduate level, including those studying the CIPD qualification, and for those taking 'development modules¿ in disciplines such as health, PGCE- post-compulsory education and public administration.
