The effective development of human resources within the organisation is one of the most powerful contributions to the long-term growth and survival of the enterprise. This systematic and practical approach to training principles and practice, first published in 1972, provides a unifying framework as a guide to problem solving and action by executives. This step-by-step account, illustrated by case histories, shows how to apply the principles to analysing and solving varied training problems within organisations. This title will be of interest to managers, executives, and students of business studies and human resource management.

The bibliography contains references to literature on British industrial relations published in the years 1971 to 1979 inclusive. It includes books, periodical articles, theses, government publications, pamphlets and any other relevant publications. As well as general material on industrial relations, the bibliography includes material on employee attitudes and behaviour, employee organisation, employers and their organisation, collective bargaining, industrial conflict, industrial democracy, the labour market, training, employment, unemployment, labour mobility, pay, conditions and the role of the state in industrial relations. It is cross-referenced and has an author index. It is a supplement to the volume compiled by George Bain and Gillian Woolven (published by the Press in 1979) and for the years since 1980 is itself updated by annual articles in the British Journal of Industrial Relations. The material is arranged by subject, and chronologically within that framework.
