Power and Influence in the Management of Human Resource Development 

 

There is a wealth of literature exploring power and influence in organizations. These cases examine the effect of these issues on the role and effectiveness of human resource development (HRD). The goal is to explore the reality of HRD in organizations and in doing so, highlight tensions that emerge when theory is applied to actual practice. The cases are based on interviews with one or two key people in each organization as part of a wider research project. Download both the instructor’s manual and the student workbook that contains the case study scenarios to distribute to students.
