Human Resources Management: Eine praxisbasierte Einführung

Good human resource management is more than filling vacancies or administering policies. In Human Resources Management: Eine praxisbasierte Einführung, Cyrus Achouri treats HR as a practical discipline shaped by people, organizational choices and wider business strategy. This second, revised and expanded edition offers German-speaking readers a broad, structured introduction to the field.

From recruiting to responsible selection

The book begins with recruitment and the methods used to assess candidates, including interviews, structured interviews, assessment centers and psychological aptitude diagnostics. It also examines headhunter management, giving attention to the process behind external recruitment as well as candidate evaluation.

Talent, careers and development

Further chapters consider talent and career management, placement and outplacement, followed by HR controlling and personnel development. Performance management, employee and supervisor assessment, 360-degree feedback, coaching and feedback processes connect the larger HR function with the everyday work of supporting and developing people.

People, leadership and the organization

Achouri broadens the discussion to business ethics, individual and organizational values, sustainability, motivation and leadership. A chapter on systemic management explores systems thinking in relation to organizations, while the final section turns to international human resource management and intercultural questions.

A structured resource for study and practice

Learning objectives, visual explanations and review questions give the chapters a clear study framework. The book is suited to business students looking for an organized overview, and to HR professionals and managers who want to revisit the discipline’s main methods and themes in one volume.

For readers interested in how recruitment, development, leadership and organizational strategy fit together, this German-language introduction offers a wide-ranging starting point.
