Chapters 1 and 3 introduce the concepts and techniques of human resource strategy.

The Hotel Paris Case is a continuing case study that appears in each chapter starting with chapter 3.

It helps students connect with strategic human resource management by showing how a hotel company’s HR director creates policies and procedures that improve employee morale and therefore its services, to achieve business goals.
