Writing this book on Manpower Planning and Strategic Change has been a wonderful and exciting journey. It all started during the process of searching for a new book for the Management students pursuing MBA, PMIR, PGDM, PGDHRM, etc. The book is the extension of the Human Resource Management which covers widely the concept of Manpower Planning, Human Resource Development and Change Management.
The target readers are the upper level students with some prior knowledge on HRM. This book can also be utilized by the HR professionals. Some basic knowledge on Human Resource (HR) functions (e.g., selection, training, appraisal and pay) will help the reader to understand the contents of the book more easily. This book can be used by those students who are pursuing HR as their specialization subject.
