Books by Paul Iles

The focus if this book has two dimensions: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical dimension is concerned with the fitness of an organisation to satisfactorily address processes of transformational change. Such fitness, it will be argued, can be expressed in terms of the coherence (degree of integration) and pathology (condition of ill health) of the organisation being explored.

Written by leading academics, this book provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the theory and practice of HRD. This edition has been fully revised throughout and features contemporary case studies, chapter introductions and additional coverage of key debates in the field. It is essential reading for any student of HRD.
