This in depth yet concise text has been designed specifically to cater for the CIPD module in Managing and Leading People and as such is closely aligned to the Standards. Students on similar modules with appropriate content such as People and Organisations, on wider business degrees, will also find the book extremely useful. Building on the success of the first edition, this revised and updated edition adopts a more international perspective and includes brand new material, including more on organisational behaviour. Other hot topics covered include managing and leading people in a strategic context, ethics and diversity, the psychological contract, motivation and reward, recruitment and selection and developing for the future. The text includes a range of learning features to encourage students to be more critical, such as case studies, real-world examples and discussion questions.

It is estimated that 90% of those who are HIV positive are in employment. However, the significant body of literature into HIV/AIDS to date has primarily focused on the medical aspects of the disease and its implications for health/social policy. There has been little analysis of the employment implications of HIV/AIDS, and what does exist is essentially descriptive and usually limited to legal features of the employment relationship. This text provides a review of the theoretical and practical issues which bear upon organisational responses to HIV/AIDS. The authors set these responses in a historical and international context, before analysing recent research findings. In the first three chapters, issues are explored through an analysis which highlights international convergences and divergences. The remaining chapters draw on the authors' research to explore the "internal" dynamics of HIV/AIDS in the workplace.
